 ABOUT BIG GREEN

Growing Food Changes Lives.

Founded in 2011, Big Green is a national nonprofit dedicated to getting everyone in America to grow food through school and home garden programs. Our mission is guided by three core initiatives: build gardens, provide grants, and create gatherings to give people the tools they need to grow food at home, at school, and within their communities.

 
 
 

WHY GROWING FOOD?

  • Growing your own food is a radical act of self-reliance. It puts fresh produce on your plate, power in your hands, and connection in your community. In a world where food systems fail too many, growing your own builds real resilience—against empty shelves, rising costs, and broken systems.

  • Community gardens are powerful, practical solutions. They reconnect cities with nature, support pollinators and biodiversity, and help manage stormwater—all while feeding people and bringing neighbors together. Affordable, efficient, and full of life.

  • Gardening is medicine for the mind. It calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and builds a sense of purpose and self-reliance. Tending to life deepens empathy, strengthens emotional resilience, and reminds us we’re part of something bigger.

  • Growing food is economic power. It cuts grocery bills, sparks local jobs, and fuels entrepreneurship. For underserved communities, it’s a pathway to ownership, mobility, and self-determination—rooted in the simple, radical act of growing your own.
