About Us
The goal of NTFB’s Garden Program is to serve as a gardening information resource to local communities, individuals, volunteers, and community gardens.
Our Garden Specialist and garden programming supports our community through:
- Food Donations from NTFB’s Community Garden Network. Each community garden donates between 10% to 100% of all weekly harvests to local agencies. Harvests can include fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs & eggs.
- Garden education programs and coaching to assist in the development of community gardens within NTFB’s 12-county service area.
- Onsite tours of our Jan’s Garden - a production and learning garden.
- Garden training & education - We deliver garden classes and education, workshops and kids summer camps (insert link to Kids camp – https://ntfb.org/event/kids-camp-2/ )that promote sustainable, organic, and regenerative gardening practices. Our website contains many education and learning resources. (Sergio – please put link to our Education & Resources landing page)

- Garden supplies, resources, and information
- Free visibility on the NTFB website
- An annual Partner Garden Manager Event
- Free spring vegetable transplants
