GCG Business Gardens and Volunteer Program
"Harvard Pilgrim's relationship with Green City Growers is essential to the production and quality of our organic farms. Thanks in part to their ability to partner with us, we've seen our employee volunteers grow from novices into knowledgeable farmers. GCG educates us on every aspect of farming, from seeds to harvest, bugs to critters. We learn, we thrive, we grow!" - Peggy Malumphy, HPHC Volunteer
Green City Growers can help build a community around your property by creating an active corporate “farm”. We build and maintain raised-bed, chemical-free vegetable gardens, yielding an abundance of fresh vegetables that can benefit both your business and your staff. Our volunteer program will engage your employees in the joys of growing food, allowing them to participate in this growing movement while getting outside, excited, and learning practical skills that they can apply to their own homes and communities.

The Benefit of Raised-Beds is that they can be placed on any surface: including pavement, cement, rooftops, or contaminated lawns. No matter what your soil content, your raised-bed is chemical-free. Raised-beds are also very neat and clean looking, the perfect addition for a business park or well kept lawn.
Green City Growers can work with many kinds of businesses and organizations, including your: corporation, assisted living center, hospital, restaurant, food service company, sports club, summer camp, place of worship, or hotel.
