Gardens for Harvest

Are you interested in growing fruit and vegetables at home? We've partnered with Knox City Council to bring you the Gardens for Harvest program.

Join the Gardens for Harvest program for free and receive:

an online resource kit that includes a home growing guide and information sheets to download
a monthly email newsletter with tips on what to plant, how to care for your garden, seasonal recipes, and more
access to free events and workshops
access to the Gardens for Harvest Facebook page
opportunities to meet other gardening enthusiasts from our growing member network.

Growing your own food can help you save money and is healthier for you because you control pesticides used and it gets you outside doing exercise. You don’t need a large garden to participate, if space is an issue try growing in containers.

When do I plant my vegetables?
