How did it Start?

This community garden was an idea that started when our Director, Jennifer Smith, met the amazing and courageous families who receive food at The Round Pantry, located in the Presbyterian Church, at 1500 Hover Street, in Longmont, Colorado. As a recipient of food at a Longmont pantry in 2003, she was familiar with the stress of feeding her family. Seeing the faces of the brave children, moms, dads, and grandparents of The Round Pantry gave her the conviction to build The Round Urban Garden, a 501(c)(3). We are building a community to grow food while working together to expand the mission of lessening food disparity, and celebrating the love of God.
