Community Gardens program expands to Concordia College

FARGO — It’s still not quite warm enough to start breaking ground on the veggie garden for tomato lovers… but there is something that’s already growing fast this spring.

That’s the latest expansion of the nonprofit project, Growing Together Community Gardens.

And this year, their latest lot — at up to more than ten locations and counting —  is sprawling onto the Concordia College campus in Moorhead.

Spaces for the shared gardening plots fill up fast and registration is open now.

Instead of working the lots individually, the way you would in a traditional community garden, they ask gardeners to volunteer for two hours a week, working together.

That allows you to take a share of what everyone raises.

Organizers say they’re getting a lot of interest from college students looking to learn.

Founder Jack Wood and Concordia college student and gardener Henry Skatvold joined the Morning Show to talk about why there’s so much new interest in gardening flowering in young people, and the impact the garden’s overflow bounty has on the metro’s food-insecure population.
