Local Food Resource Hubs

Thank you to everyone who made the seed and seedling distributions such a success!
Did you miss the distributions?  We still have lots of seeds (unfortunately, we are out of seedlings at this time).  By joining, you'll also have access to free or low-cost classes, tools, volunteer opportunities and social events.  Hub members are part of a network of gardeners in your neighborhood who support each other through the growing season.  If you have any questions, contact Lina at Lina@gardeningmatters.org or 612-821-2358.

  • Do you want to grow your own fresh produce?
  • Do you want to engage in local food issues, particularly in making healthy, locally-grown food more accessible in your neighborhood?
  • Do you want to connect with your neighbors and build community networks to share and swap goods or services?
  • Are you interested in sharing your skills and learning from others about gardening techniques, compost, cooking, food preservation and more?
  • Would you like access to discounted seeds, seedlings, tools, and classes that will enhance your gardening? 

The Local Food Resource Hubs Network supports residents to grow their own fresh produce, helping to ensure greater food security and healthy food access.  To join a hub in one of four Minneapolis neighborhoods or the Midway neighborhood of St.Paul, sign up online now!
