your farm. anywhere.

The sunflowers in front of Green City Growers' Somerville office are bright and in bloom, stretching high above the rest of the garden. With their soaring stalks and bright yellow petals, sunflowers bring color to almost any plot of land. But, sunflowers can do more than just add aesthetic appeal; in fact, sunflowers are an entirely edible plant.

From root to leaf, sprout to stalk, you can use your sunflowers to make everything from salads to sunflower tea. Before chowing down, though, make sure the sunflower you're about to enjoy has been grown organically, without pesticides, or any other toxic substances that might not be so kitchen-friendly.

Have you heard about rock dust fertilizer? My name is Macy Horton and I am a guest blogger here to tell you about its wonders! I was an intern at Green City Growers last summer, and working with the GCG team was one of the most formative experiences of my life. The experience I had there gave me the courage, knowledge, and energy to start a venture of my own! That’s a lot more than most people can say for their internship experience.

My name is Taylor Copeland, and I’m one of GCG’s business and marketing interns for the summer! I’m currently an undergraduate student at Penn State, majoring in Community and Economic Development, with a minor in Environmental Inquiry, and a specialization in Architecture. I am a native of Somerville, MA, so I was very excited to find this internship opportunity so close to home.

We're excited to announce that "The Urban Bounty - How to Grow Fresh Food, Anywhere" is now on sale! From our many friends and supporters, we were able to raise enough money through a Kickstarter campaign to publish our first ever book. The farmers at GCG have drawn upon their experiences from growing food in traditional in-ground gardens to kiddie pools on a parking garage rooftop to write this comprehensive guide. The start to finish "how-to" for growing food in unconventional places will help you to create a growing space that will match your taste preferences and skill-level for seasons to come.
