The Giving Grove Approach 
​The Giving Grove program approach is based on six key tenets:

• Neighborhood Leadership: Our orchards ignite the power of the neighborhood.
  
• Stewardship: Residents lead their neighbors in planting, maintaining and harvesting.
  
• Curbside Access: Healthy food grows directly in the neighborhoods where it is needed most.
  
• Increase Green Space: Vacant lots become places for neighborhood gatherings, play, art, and more
  
• Holistic Best Practices: Stewards use selected varieties, beneficial insects, and probiotics to mimic nature.
  
• A Resource Network: Our affiliates share resources, experience and expertise.
  

Unity Gardens is partnering with The Giving Grove to provide even more healthy food to our community. 
Giving Grove Mission: 
The Giving Grove’s mission is to provide healthy calories, strengthen community, and improve the urban environment through a nationwide network of sustainable little orchards.
