About Us

The Giving Grove supports neighborhood volunteers in planting and caring for fruit trees, nut trees, and berry brambles that improve the urban environment, increase tree canopy and provide a sustainable source of free, organically-grown food for neighborhoods facing high rates of food insecurity.

The Giving Grove National Network is an action-aligned network of orcharding programs embedded across the country. There is POWER in organizing without creating new organizations and connecting existing programs with a shared narrative for change.
