Growing a Revolution
La Mesa Verde



La Mesa Verde brings together volunteers from the entire community to plant raised-bed gardens in the yards of families struggling to meet their nutritional needs.

After volunteers plant the gardens, master gardeners continue to work with each family through the growing season to ensure a healthy harvest for years to come.

Beyond providing a sustainable source of food, La Mesa Verde builds community by providing the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with low-income families in this powerful endeavor, laying the foundation for a more abundant tomorrow.
