Our Community

Our community is diverse and vibrant. We represent multiple countries, cultures, and age ranges. People are surprised to discover plants from their homeland growing at tBUG. Our vibrant community is made up of the following interwoven groups:

Families and Children

Families and children are our future. They amaze and inspire us with their creativity, ideas, enthusiasm and love. Children are encouraged to participate and lead at the garden. Families are learning how to grow healthy food together. Come grow, harvest, cook, eat nutritious food, care for plants and the earth and experience the magic of tBUG – we invite you and your children to become one of our many tBUG food ambassadors!

Volunteers

Do you like to garden but don’t have a green thumb. . . yet? Maybe you have a small yard or live in a condo or apartment. We invite you to join us at tBUG where volunteers report having learned that pumpkin leaves are both edible and nutritious, that there’s a special way to harvest rhubarb, and that not only is there purple spinach but it’s also a superfood. Bring yourself, your questions, and your unique talents to our community – we’re here to grow ourselves and our food.

Organizational Partnerships

TEENS WHO CARE
Together with Teens Who Care, teen students and young adults can fulfill school community service hours requirements, learn valuable skills, and get outside in nature with peers through volunteering at tBUG.

FARESTART
With our friends at FareStart, the food we grow is prepared and delivered to those in need of a meal or is used by those earning skills in the culinary arts at the FareStart Cafe.

HOPELINK
Hopelink also receives fresh produce from tBUG to feed our community.

Together we are growing a stronger and more caring community.
