Front Lawn Food Gardens – Order Yours Today!

The Front Lawn Food program, in collaboration with Berkshire Community Action Council, encourages local families to grow their own organic veggies. Garden beds are constructed and installed by Greenagers staff and youth, with summertime advice and periodic garden check-ins available to garden owners. Included in the purchase price of a garden, is the donation of a garden to a local family in need. 

Each garden is composed of one 4’x8′ raised bed, built from locally-sourced wood and filled with an organic soil/compost mix. Garden beds are planted with organic seeds and starts of your choice. Each bed converts into a winter greenhouse for year-round growing. The total cost of the two beds (one to be donated), fully installed and planted out, is $600. Half of this price is considered a tax-deductible donation. For more information, or to inquire about guidelines for receiving a free garden, please contact Aretha Whitehead, FLF Program Coordinator.
