Phoenix launches a Citywide food drive to assist residents experiencing food insecurity during the holidays.
GardenPHX Program Indoor System
The City of Phoenix Office of Environmental Programs is excited to announce the continuation of the Backyard Garden Program now called the GardenPHX Program.
Selected participants will receive a free garden system, hands-on training, maintenance, and support to grow fresh produce at home. All necessary materials, including seeds, plants, and other supplies, will be available at no cost.
The program is a six-month commitment, and participants will be provided with free training and resources on how to grow fresh produce and maintain their garden system. During the first three months, participants will also receive free personalized garden maintenance and support from the City's garden partner, Homer Farms. City of Phoenix staff will provide additional resources and opportunities to continue growing and learning throughout the program.
In February 2025, Phoenix residents living in qualifying census tracts could apply to receive a free indoor garden system from Homer Farms. The system requires a 4ft x 4ft flat space indoors, and it is ideal for residents living in apartments, condos, or other types of multi-family housing. Learn more about the system:
