Let’s Grow Akron is a non-profit organization that creates and supports community gardens, farmers’ markets and beautification sites in neighborhoods with limited access to fresh food and green space. Let’s Grow Akron has a history of community gardening, increasing food access, and providing technical assistance in methods of using urban lands for food production since 1988. Educational programs empower people to grow their own food, prepare healthy meals from the harvest, preserve the surplus and ultimately increase food security.
