Toledo GROWs has been a local leader in urban agriculture since 1996 located at 900\u00a0Oneida Street, Toledo, Ohio 43608. Through community building and longstanding\u00a0partnerships, it has a network of growers from over 120 community gardens. Their\u00a0mission seeks to remove barriers by empowering people to grow healthy food for\u00a0themselves and their community. While programs and resources are open to all ages,\u00a0Toledo GROWs actively engages young people to nurture the joy of growing and\u00a0gardening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Access to seeds, supplies, and information translates into informed communities so\u00a0individuals can secure ownership over their food sources, eliminate neighborhood\u00a0blight, and build community. For decades, Toledo GROWs has offered the necessary\u00a0tools and support to create common ground among individuals, neighborhoods, and\u00a0organizations. Fostering community spaces transforms residents into neighbors and\u00a0vacant lots into flourishing community spaces.<\/p>\n

For Toledo GROWs the future is ripe with possibilities to establish and grow\u00a0partnerships, community spaces, and programs. Yvonne <\/em>Dubielak<\/em>, Executive Director of\u00a0<\/em>Toledo GROWs,<\/em> reminds us, “If you have the land and the interest, we can help remove\u00a0a majority of the barriers that limit access to establishing a thriving community garden.\u00a0Building community around food is at the core of our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding community partnerships\u201d is a core value for Toledo Grows said Dubielak and\u00a0for her team to expand their partnerships and diversify their network of community\u00a0connections. For example, the Sofia Quintero Art and Cultural Center, SQACC, is no\u00a0stranger to Toledo Grows. SQACC is a beacon of pride and community services for\u00a0South Toledo,primarily for Latino residents in the neighborhood and throughout the city. In the very early stages of SQACC\u2019s community garden initiatives having a\u00a0professionally trained horticulturist, seed sharing with Toledo Grows and other\u00a0resources was very helpful with revitalizing empty properties into fruit, habitat, pollinator,\u00a0and flower community gardens near and around Crittenden Avenue and Walbridge\u00a0Avenue off of Broadway Street.\u00a0As a passionate Director of Toledo Grows, Yvonne is also looking for innovative ways to\u00a0spark and expand more diverse partnerships with community gardening including ways\u00a0to attract new attendees to the Crosby Festival for the Arts at the Toledo Botanical\u00a0Gardens.<\/p>\n
