Seeds of Hope: Spring Fundraiser! 🌱

 This spring, help us grow food and community at Allan Gardens! We aim to raise $20,000 in recurring donations this spring. Gifts are being MATCHED by a generous donor. DOUBLE your impact!

Your support will:

  • Put more Allan Gardens-grown food into the hands of local families

  • Power our horticulturalist-in-residence, Amanda Johnson, to lead our growing efforts

  • Create hands-on learning and leadership opportunities for volunteers in urban agriculture

  • Keep the farmers market thriving and expanding into summer 2026 and beyond!

🌼 All donations receive a charitable tax receipt—and donors will be recognized in our annual report and on a special sign in the Children’s Conservatory.
