🌱🌻 Celebrate National Gardening Week with Toledo GROWs! 🌻🌱

This National Gardening Week, we're celebrating more than just plants, we're celebrating the people, neighborhoods, and connections that grow alongside them.

For years, Toledo GROWs has been helping support the revitalization of vacant spaces into vibrant community gardens, supporting over 100 gardens across our region and empowering residents to grow fresh, healthy food right in their own neighborhoods. Our mission is simple but powerful: nurture the joy of growing while building stronger, healthier communities.

🌼 Gardening brings people together.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener, a curious beginner, or someone who simply enjoys seeing flowers bloom on your block, there's a place for you in our growing community.

This week, challenge yourself to:
βœ… Plant something new or take care of the ones you have
βœ… Visit a community garden
βœ… Share seeds or gardening tips with a neighbor
βœ… Volunteer locally (Toledo GROWs has open volunteer hours on Wednesday 9am-12pm)
βœ… Inspire the next generation of growers

Together, we're not just growing vegetables and flowers; we're growing community, beautifying neighborhoods, and creating a stronger Toledo for everyone. πŸ’š

🌱 Happy National Gardening Week! Let's keep planting seeds of fresh food, kindness, and community.

Last week, the team from Wild Toledo came to complete another step of installing the native prairie by drilling holes for hundreds of native plant plugs that will soon provide critical habitat for bees and other pollinators. 🌱🐝

On World Bee Day, it’s a reminder of the essential role pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy and of the many challenges they face from habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.

Projects like this help create spaces where pollinators can thrive for generations to come. 🌼

Happy National Plant a Vegetable Garden Day! 🌱

There’s something powerful about growing your own food; planting a tiny seed, caring for it daily, and watching it become something that can nourish yourself, your family and community. A garden teaches patience, resilience, and the value of slowing down to connect with the earth.

Whether you have room for a full garden or just a few pots on a porch, every vegetable grown is a step toward healthier living, sustainability, and self-reliance.

These are just a few of the plants thriving in our greenhouse right now, and they’re a reminder that growth starts small. 🌿
