About
OUR MISSION
Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo is a community gardening program in Western New York working with public and private sectors to revitalize neighborhoods and build quality of life through the reuse and beautification of vacant land.
WHO WE ARE
An independent 501(c)3 organization, Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo (GGB) functions largely as a the liaison organization between the City of Buffalo administration and our city's enthusiastic community gardeners. Primarily, GGB establishes leases with the city and indemnifies the properties, enabling gardeners to take on the challenges of establishing and maintaining the gardens without the added burden of liability for gardeners and visitors. In addtion, whenever possible, GGB assists the gardeners' efforts through modest financial support and other resources including the distribution of plants, seeds and bulbs and other supplies.
