Project Grow

54 Years and Counting!

Project Grow's core focus is facilitating organic community garden sites throughout Ann Arbor. Each site offers a variety of plot types that accommodate diverse gardeners -- we want as many thumbs turning green as possible!

All of our sites use sustainable practices, enriching the land through natural soil improvement, organic growing methods, and careful stewardship. Everyone is welcome to apply for a plot.

Community Service Hour Connection

In the spirit of community gardening, it is reasonable to expect all to engage in some way.

Community Service Hour Roll Out Info

While our member handbook has included language about work parties and volunteer hours for years, 2026 is the first time we are documenting, communicating, and tracking a specific minimum number of service hours from all member gardeners. (That’s YOU!)

Community Service Hour FAQ Info

As a local, non-profit organization with a small budget, we rely on our gardeners not only to actively manage their individual garden plots, but also to support the larger needs of Project Grow. Formalizing this long-standing expectation has several goals.
