About Us

Gardeners in Community Development (GICD) is a Dallas area nonprofit organization of professionals, volunteers, and supporters of community gardening and neighborhood greening. We were incorporated on May 25, 1994, for the purpose of promoting community gardening as a way to enhance neighborhood life.

Our Mission is growing people. Each year Gardeners in Community Development makes it possible for hundreds of Dallas area families, mostly low-income, to enjoy fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers grown in our community gardens. These gardens enhance the quality of life in area neighborhoods in many ways, and provide a place to learn and share our joy of gardening with others.

Some GICD Community Gardens grow extra vegetables and donate these to local food pantries.
