Growing Together Garden

The Growing Together Garden is a collaborative learning and growing space resting on 1/4 of an acre adjacent to North Liberty Community Pantry and open to anyone in the community. We believe that everyone deserves healthy nutrition choices along with the access to knowledge and resources to implement healthy eating.

Join us at the Pantry’s Growing Together Garden for Open Garden Time throughout the Summer:
Tuesdays 10-12 and Thursdays 4-6

Grow Food & Learn With Us

All open garden volunteer times are opportunities to learn. Volunteers practice gardening skills in the Growing Together Garden and cooking skills at our garden to table cooking and preservation events. All ages and abilities are welcome to participate.

Share in the Harvest

Anyone volunteering at the Growing Together Garden is welcome to take home a share of the harvest of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. We share the rest of the harvest to the Pantry to distribute to shoppers.

Special Garden Events

Growing Together Garden hosts several events for the community that focus on exploring and learning different gardening and healthy eating skills. If you have any questions, email our Special Projects Coordinator

Grow Food at Home 

Each year we hold a Container Gardening Class for participants to take home a 5 gallon bucket with a choice of vegetables or herbs. This is a great option for those with limited or no yard space!

​

The Growing Together Garden and North Liberty Library partner together to stock a Seed Library at each location. Choose from a variety of fruit, vegetable, and herb seeds to grow in your home garden. We also welcome donations of seeds you have saved!
