Louisville Grows Inc

Description

• Our mission is to grow a just and sustainable community in Louisville, Kentucky through urban agriculture, urban forestry, and environmental education. Our programs include our community gardens, Love Louisville Trees, the Seeds and Starts Garden Resource Program, Community Green Schools, and the Urban Growers Cooperative. Our History Since 2009, Louisville Grows has provided support to numerous garden projects: Portland Orchard Project, Lamp Community Ministries Garden of Life, Housing Partnership Inc. Community Garden, Jewish Community Center Garden, Garden Commons at UofL, Coleridge Taylor School Garden, Dixie Elementary School Garden, Main Street Community Garden, and Harvey Brown Presbyterian Garden. In 2009 Mason Roberts founded Louisville Grows to assist community groups and individuals on their journey towards sustainability. Between 2009-2011, Louisville Grows assisted with the creation of 13 community gardens across Metro Louisville with a focus on food-insecure neighborhoods in West Louisville. In late 2011 Louisville Grows worked with Metro Council District 5 to develop a vision for a 5-acre mixed-use agricultural site called the Peoples Garden located at 409 Northwestern Parkway, which today houses 6,000 square feet of greenhouse space, a 1-acre market garden, a 20-member community garden, a large fruit orchard, and a childrens educational garden. Continuing to Grow In 2013 the Portland Stroll District LLC offered Louisville Grows the lease to a 1-acre lot that has become the Shippingport Memorial Garden, and weve added a focus on urban canopy to our mission with the development of Love Louisville Trees. Louisville Grows is truly a grassroots organization, committed to creating sustainable change from the ground up!
