Plant a Row, Grow a Row, Share a Row

Fresh produce from your own garden is an amazing donation. If you grow it, we'll make sure to share it

The Plant, Grow, Share a Row program is a fun way to enjoy a favourite hobby and help others in your community at the same time. This program invites local gardeners to grow an extra row or earmark a row of vegetables to donate

How it works

How often can you enjoy a favourite hobby and help others in your community at the same time? The Plant, Grow, Share a Row program is a fun way to do both. This program invites local gardeners to grow an extra row of vegetables to donate

Plant a row

When you plant your garden this season, set aside a row for Edmonton's Food Bank. You don't need a large plot. Even a few extra plants can produce a meaningful donation over the growing season

Grow a row

Tend your dedicated row through the growing season the same way you'd tend the rest of your garden. Water, weed, and watch it grow. Fresh produce is one of the most valuable items we can include in hampers; it makes a real difference. Any variety is welcome

Share a row

When your produce is ready, simply remove the majority of the garden dirt drop it off at the Food Bank warehouse at 11508 120 Street. Produce should be fresh and in good condition, as it goes directly into food hampers. We accept donations throughout the growing season, so you can drop off in batches as things ripen

What crops are best to donate?

Root vegetables are best; however, any produce that can be easily handled and stored, including broccoli, cabbage, carrots, peas, beans, tomatoes, radishes, parsnips, sweet peppers, and summer squash (including zucchini) are welcome. Your donation, whether it’s a handful of green beans, a bag of beets, or a truckload of zucchini, will be appreciated and put to good use
