Tomato Tasting 2023

We have a great turnout for Project Grow's Tomato Tasting held August 19 at County Farm Park. Project Grow has been holding these tastings since 2001. With the exception of one year when blight wiped a lot of us out and of course that pandemic, we think this gathering was our 20th.

Thank you to everyone that participated. This includes the gardeners that donated over 60 different varieties to taste, the gardeners who prepped the tomatoes to sample, the gardeners who helped set up and tear down and all the people who were there to sample an amazing variety of offerings. If the name of your favorite variety is on the tip of your tongue, look over the list below to secure space for it in your garden next year. Check the website for more photos of the event.

A big shout out to former board member Calin Sferdean for the delicious sourdough bread and to everyone that remembered to grab shots of the event.  Click on the arrows in the top right corner of the photo below to see more.

What We Do

Project Grow provides Ann Arbor–area residents with the space, know-how, and inspiration to grow their own fresh, organic food. Gardens are located throughout the community, many near public transportation, so you can choose a site that's close to home. Project Grow identifies under-developed land, arranges for its use, and maintains it as part of our network of community gardens. We provide raised beds and programs for children, seniors, and gardeners with disabilities, so everyone can participate!

Project Grow is a private, non-profit organization that relies on the support of our community for volunteer help, equipment donations, and funding. Please get involved, and grow with us!
