Community Gardens of Chester County

Backyard Gardens Project

CGCC works with low-income families to build, grow, and harvest fresh, healthy vegetables in gardens of their own.  We help to design and build raised-bed gardens, and provide seeds, plants, education, and a network of supportive gardening volunteers to help those who are facing food insecurity learn the joys of gardening and become more self-sufficient, self-confident, engaged members of the community.

If you are a Chester County resident and interested in receiving a free garden and learning how to grow fresh food, please fill out our application form, or call us at 484-888-1669 or email us at gardenscc@gmail.com for more information.

Get-One-Give-One Gardens

Are you interested in getting started with your own backyard garden while helping a low-income family grow a garden as well?  For just $350, Chester County residents can purchase a garden and provide a matching garden for someone in need.  Each garden includes a 4' x 8' raised bed, soil, seeds, vegetable starts, guidance on getting started, and invitations to our workshops and events - plus half of your purchase price is tax-deductible!
