Project snapshot
At Polo Grounds Family Garden, we want to install a greenhouse to extend our growing season. This will allow us to start plants earlier, grow a wider variety of vegetables and herbs, and reduce pests. Our goal is to provide fresh produce year-round, giving our community peace of mind. The greenhouse will attract new visitors and engage people of all ages. We grow vegetables like okra, eggplant, collards, peppers, and tomatoes, which will benefit from an earlier and longer growing season. This project will help us produce more fruits and vegetables to share with the community. If we receive this grant, we will enhance our garden’s resilience and sustainability, continuing to teach and support our community, especially the children who love learning and harvesting.
