Join us at Lincoln Park as we launch our first season of growing and sharing with the First Annual Grow & Give Kickoff Event! This free, community-building celebration is all about helping neighbors get growing—whether you're part of the Grow & Give program or simply curious about gardening and want to connect.

We’re teaming up with amazing partners to make this event bigger and better than ever:

✨ John Ball Zoo’s Habitat Heroes – FREE native plants for habitat-friendly gardening

🌼 John Ball Area Neighbors (JBAN) – Annual Perennial Plant Swap

🌿 Kind Hearts Bloom – Thousands of veggie, herb, and flower starts for Grow & Give gardeners

🏘️ West Grand Neighborhood Organization (WGNO) – Sharing details on the first-ever Westside Garden Tour

Whether you're an experienced grower or just getting started, this event is for everyone. No gardening experience needed—just come as you are and leave with the tools to grow and give.

What to Expect:

🌱 Plant Pickup – Grab your starter plants and seeds for the season

🤝 Meet & Connect – Chat with fellow Grow & Give gardeners and volunteers

🎨 Kids Activities – Fun for our youngest gardeners!

📚 Community Resources – Learn how to start a garden, share your extras, and join the movement
