"No one should be hungry. We are able to provide beautiful and nutritious produce to children, veterans, older adults and families who are food insecure in the greater New London area. We are making a difference."

- Geri, Garden Volunteer

Our Land
The Giving Garden "lives" on land belonging to the Flanders Baptist Community Church. They have generously allowed us to farm here and we are grateful for their generosity.

Grants and Donations
Financial support from local companies and organizations can provide much-needed capital for specific projects, or for the Garden's general operation. Because the Giving Garden is completely volunteer operated, all grants, donations, and monies raised directly support our mission. Donations and grants enable the purchase of gardening equipment including tools, wheelbarrows, and a tractor; fencing; fertilizer; the irrigation system; the construction of a shed; seeds; and so much more. Our board welcomes the opportunity to speak with you and your team about the essential role you can play in providing nutritious produce to our neighbors facing food insecurity. The Giving Garden is a 501C3 organization, making all contributions tax-deductible.

Sponsor a Row
For $250, companies, organizations, and families are invited to "Sponsor a Row" in the garden for one full growing season. Your name and/or logo will appear at the beginning of the row and your linked logo will be added to our website for the season. Talk to us about this unique opportunity. For $50, you can support the purchase of the seedlings for a row.

Garden Expertise
Many local farmers have been generous with their knowledge and support, including the Eastern Connecticut Community Garden Association (ECCGA) for providing many of our seedlings. Huntsbrook Farm (Waterford) and the Craig Floyd Giving Garden at Denison Pequot Nature Center (Mystic) continue to support our garden and we are thankful for their guidance and expertise.
