Unity Gardens’ mission is to improve community health: Physically by increasing accessibility of fruits and vegetables as well as providing education on nutrition and food preparation. Socially by providing education, increased social capital, and opportunities for the disadvantaged. Economically: by developing a sustainable local food system, recapturing food waste, creating new jobs, and increasing per-capita productivity.
We support forty+ free pick gardens throughout northern Indiana that absolutely anyone can harvest from, provide free education year round on gardening, sustainability, nutrition, and more, and host multiple community events to connect our neighbors.

The Unity Gardens Inc. is a collaborative network of community gardens originated to increase the availability, awareness, and
accessibility of healthy, locally grown food. Each Unity Garden has two criteria; diverse people coming together to grow food and a sharing component. The gardens provide food for any in need & bring diverse people together to grow, harvest, share, and eat healthy food. The Unity Gardens Inc. surrounds community gardens with the  resources and systems needed to ensure success with growing food while  developing partnerships with area businesses, government, universities, schools, churches, nonprofits, and neighbors.
