GardenforLIFE is a huge ‘us’. It’s the LIFE produced from over 30 years of diverse collaboration. The catalyst for this alliance is our Creator, who has connected farmers, gardeners, educators, scientists, and others from every walk of life. Each of ‘us’ are committed to helping the world feed and heal itself as part of a redemptive plan for the world’s food supply.
For the parts of the world that are broken and in need of restoration, we choose to be an agent of grace, wisdom, and healing. This is why we work to create free tools to support and connect individuals, communities, and organizations. Join us as we continue to discover the meaning and scope of redeeming the world’s food supply.
