Annual Report

Interest in community gardening and urban food production is not slowing down in Syracuse, and Syracuse Grows continues to offer support for these efforts. Our all volunteer board dedicates countless hours to finding resources and connecting them to the gardens in our network; building relationships with other organizations interested in supporting community gardens; and advocating for policies that will help to promote and sustain urban food production.
