Welcome Washington Gardeners

#CoopGardens for Washington Gardeners

A Plot To Save The World PosterThe Cooperative Gardens Commission is launching a public campaign to increase community food production in every community. Our aim is to connect those with food-growing resources — including seeds, soil, tools, equipment, land, labor, and knowledge — with those who lack such resources, and ultimately to get as much land as possible producing food during this time of uncertainty.

Growing food is not easy, especially for first-time growers, so we urge any of you who can help your neighbors grow food to go to your local craigslist.org website and use the hashtag #CoopGardens while offering your help (following all of the guidelines here).

Spread the Wealther Poster

We chose craigslist because it’s free, familiar, easy-to-use, not-for-profit, and has a page for almost every community in the United States and Canada (and many other countries). We believe this is the fastest and most efficient way to make your resources available to people in your community, and we offer directions for how to use craigslist for this project below. But before beginning to help your neighbors, or receive help, you must read these important Health & Safety Guidelines for sharing resources and community gardening.
