The garden is open during normal volunteer hours.
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.
With your help, we hope to make Three Valleys’ 925 GIVES campaign a success for all the participating Tri-Valley non-profits. The Three Valley Community Foundation has opened up their donor portal so you can donate to Fertile GroundWorks NOW through October 8. 925 GIVES offers a myriad of generous prizes for non-profits that fulfill challenges and to increase the fun of donating.
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.
Thanks to all our guests who made this event a success at the beautiful McGrail Vineyards in Livermore! You didn’t just sell out the seats, but you also gave generously by bidding on auctions and donating to garden beds.
You are invited to come enjoy this year’s open plant sale experience. Rain or shine, we’ll be opening our big hoop house for you to come pick your own seedlings :
Our big hoop house is located at the south end of our garden, at 4743 East Avenue. Just bring a box to take your seedlings home in, and follow the signs.
All plants are still only $4.00 per container and FGW famous fertilizer at $6.00/ quart. We will be offering a large variety of yummy plants to help you fill your garden.
We grow over 28,000 pounds of organic produce each year to feed the poor and homeless in Alameda County’s Tri-Valley region.
Volunteers learn from experienced gardeners on-site. We use sustainable, manual techniques that you can apply to your own garden. Groups are always welcome.
We provide education and support to local schools, corporations, and other community groups to help them create and sustainably operate their own gardens.
Our annual Plant Sale Fundraiser and seasonal You-Pick Market Garden make our organic produce available to the local community.
