Square Foot Gardening to End Hunger


Square Foot Gardening is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) entity with simple solutions to food insecurity.  Its ultimate goal is to end world hunger by reaching out to families and teaching them how to grow their own healthy food.    Families can improve their nutrition intake and benefit from quality time together centered around gardening.  The Square Foot Gardening plan uses less resources and requires very little work yet yields a harvest equal to a single row garden 5x its size.

The organization also teaches educational classes and support local community gardens and NGO projects overseas.  The nonprofit teaches food literacy in schools, donates gardens to many organizations, and helps promote healthy lifestyles.
