About

The GroW Community Garden is a block-length plot of land (located on H Street between 23rd and 24th Streets across from Amsterdam Hall). It is supported by the George Washington University, and maintained by two student managers (employed by the University) as well as a strong volunteer base.

All of the produce is grown to support the work of Miriam's Kitchen: a nonprofit organization that aims to end chronic homelessness in Washington D.C. Miriam's incorporates fresh, local produce into the meals they serve to their guests Monday through Friday every week of the year. GroW produce goes right into the kitchens of folks who are housed through Miriam's Permanent Supportive Housing program, which transitions around 135 individuals experiencing homelessness into housing while continuing to provide supportive services.

Fall 2021 Garden Hours: Sunday and Wednesday 5-6pm + potlucks every Sunday after hours!
Feel free to stop by during hours (no sign-up necessary!) Bring plenty of water + sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc.) and wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. See you in the garden!
