So you want to get some dirt under your nails and grow some food?

Excellent!

The great thing is that you don’t need to leave city limits. There are many small growing spaces around town that you can access anytime.

We all want to save some cash on food, and one of the best ways to do this is start growing your own. If you’re new to gardening, this is the place to start and learn the basics.

    Or, want to grow on your own terrace, porch, tiny backyard? Check out City Farm’s Green Box gardens, at just 2′x3′, you can grow lettuce, spinach, herbs, chard, kale, mustard greens, cress, arugula, parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, sorrel, mache, bok choy. Bush green beans grow well too. And your purchase includes a tax-deductible contribution to City Farm and the Resource Center.
