The Garden Project is a 30 plus year program of the Greater Lansing Food Bank (GLFB), supporting a network of nearly 125+ community gardens and 400 home gardens. We provide access to land, how-to education, free seeds and plants, tool lending, a networking hub and more so that all community members can have access to fresh healthy food through gardening opportunities.
Some of our community gardens have a diverse group of gardeners and many of them have a limited ability to read or speak English. We are seeking bilingual volunteers to help translate some of our documents into other languages. We are looking for volunteers who speak the following languages-
- Burmese
- French
- Swahili
