Green Corn Project (GCP) is a 501(c)3 organization that educates and assists Central Texans in growing organic food gardens. GCP serves people with limited access to nutritious, affordable food by partnering with them to build their own gardens at homes, schools, and community centers. GCP also educates garden recipients, volunteers and community members about the techniques and benefits of organic gardening through skills workshops, presentations and community events.

Our vision is that Central Texans have nutritious, affordable, food grown in ways that conserve natural resources, promote self-reliance, and strengthen communities. Since the project was founded in 1998, GCP has built over 85 gardens in Austin's underserved neighborhoods. We teach effective techniques for growing food at home naturally, while making maximum use of land, water, and energy. The whole community benefits when gardeners share their new skills and excess harvest with others.

GCP accomplishes its mission through generous contributions from businesses and individuals, by partnering with community organizations and city agencies, and with the hands-on labor of many dedicated volunteers.

We welcome requests for short presentations about our work from your group or business.
