In the spring of 2026, we successfully grew and harvested more than 1,440 pounds of watermelons!

We welcome people of ALL ages and backgrounds to participate in local food, no matter one’s abilities or experiences.

All food starts with seeds. Growing, saving, and using local seeds means our food is in our control from the start.

Here’s a snapshot of what we’re working on this season—and what we’re learning along the way.

We grew 15 new (to us) varieties this year in our seed trial gardens at GROW HUB, and at 4 other garden locations. Here are the results!
