We will make room for our neighbors at the table through inclusive education online and in-person. The World Grace Project's goals are to provide workforce training, increase cultural awareness, and draw our youth closer to their food sources with innovative, engaging community projects.
Healthy food access is foundational for human health and a right of every race, color, religion or national origin.
Bringing youth closer to their food through community growing challenges and education, online and in-person.
Providing workforce projects and mentorship for Cedar Valley Youth and refugee population.

We believe everyone should have the ability to grow their own food and enjoy the light and life that a garden brings. That is why we are focusing on removing barriers to growing regardless of climate or land ownership while engaging the community in the process.
Life Gardens are basic indoor hydroponic gardens that have been designed for new farmers to grow indoors at home.
Our best garden-growing system requires two square feet of space against a wall. You need access to water and one plug-in outlet.
The Life Garden is not time consuming. Set up will take about an hour the first day. You will re-seed every 3 weeks (lettuce).
The garden is optimized for lettuce or Bok Choy and comes with your initial seed and hydroponic solution. We recommend that every new gardener start here. As you become familiar with your garden, you can also grow kale, spinach, water spinach, & small herbs.
If you are committed to learning to grow with us, we are committed to helping you get started. We will have a lending library of gardens available to growers who would like to get started.
We intend to making building plans available to those who wish to build a garden themselves. We will also have building workshops at the Cedar Valley Makerspace where you can learn to build. We expect this to be available by Fall 2021. If you are interested in building, please sign up here.
