We are building garden boxes thanks to an infrastructure grant from the Wyoming Hunger Initiative. Our goals is to have first time gardeners get comfortable with growing their own foods. Our organization provides gardening materials and the community does the work within home gardens. Our motto is: Learn as we go, learn as we grow, which is what we have done as a board led organization. There is always something new to learn when it comes to successfully operating a non-profit organization. All first time gardeners are welcomed. We try to help everyone with a gardening need and desire. Please follow our efforts and support our work by reaching out to us via email at: windrivergrowourown@gmail.com
