Let’s Grow Together.
Both metaphorically and literally.
From Seed to Seed
Tomorrow’s Garden started small, and only a seasonal non-profit. We have outgrown that and now are serving the community all year-round, from seed to seed. With this new growth, you are invited to become a part of this growth spurt and continue growing with us - not just in Charlotte, North Carolina, but in Richmond, Virginia and beyond.
The main focus of Tomorrow’s Garden is to provide guidance and assistance in turning suburban yards into suburban farms. In order to succeed, we need a strong basis of seed sovereignty on a local scale. From seeds comes great produce, and that produce will serve the community it was grown in.
There is no shortage of need, but there is a shortage of local seeds and the knowledge that it does not take multiple acres - or even land - to make a dent in food insecurity. With your help, we can achieve this and more.
