Garden-In-A-Box Program

Since 1886, the Minnesota State Horticultural Society has inspired and educated gardening enthusiasts throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest. We help gardens—and gardeners—grow! Garden-in-a-Box is an exciting program pilot tested in the 2008 growing season. The program distributes small raised gardening beds, along with soil, vegetable plants, and beginning gardening classes, to low income households in the Twin Cities. In 2010, we had to turn away over 75 families because the program's funding had run out. Help us meet the demand and expand the program so more families can start gardens of their own.
