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.  To learn more about the current status of our donation garden program click here.
