The garden will be closed Saturday, August 30th.

We teach, grow, and give.

Fertile GroundWorks is a nonprofit with the mission to encourage, empower, and teach individuals and communities to grow healthy, nutritious food, organically and sustainably. The Garden of Grace, our principle teaching garden, is located in Livermore on land owned and provided for our use by Asbury United Methodist Church. Produce from our educational garden is given to local community kitchens and food pantries to help feed those in need.

Donate through CHEF to grow your gift!

CHEF will help us to continue to provide for our neighbors in need by donating an additional 50% on any donation made to our “Garden Next Door” campaign. WOW! How lucky are we?! Your support will help resource Fertile GroundWorks create 10,000 square feet more growing space in our main garden. 

Join our Taste for Giving Gala on Saturday, September 13!

We are bringing our Annual Taste for Giving Gala back to the beautiful McGrail Vineyards. Tickets are available until September 1. Reserve your spot today!
