Harvest Pierce County

Harvest Pierce County aims to engage Pierce County residents in a just and healthy food system.  Through its Community Garden program, Harvest Pierce County helps develop new gardens, orchards, and food projects; boosts the capacity of garden volunteers and community gardens through training, networking opportunities, one-on-one support, and other resources; and plans events to engage the broader community in its work.  About half of Pierce County’s 70+ community gardens are located in Tacoma, 11 of which are on city-owned lots.  To help the gardens thrive, the City donates TAGRO, its organic gardening product made from recycled wastewater byproducts.
