Veggiegrower Gardens of New Mexico and its uniquely designed growing systems have their roots in the Homegrown Nutrition Program, a hunger relief project that is helping families who live on the former dump in Juarez, Mexico (for more info see http://www.cacradicalgrace.org/resources/hgn.html ).   Chuck O'Herron-Alex , Veggiegrower Gardens' president and founder, designs, builds, and delivers micro intensive gardens to families in Juarez, and then works with them to plant the gardens.  Families are trained to care for their gardens and to harvest the fresh, organic produce at the peak of ripeness.

     As word of the Homegrown Nutrition Program and its highly productive gardens spread in the U.S., many people expressed interest in obtaining a garden for their own enjoyment  and better nutrition.  In the summer of 2005 Veggiegrower Gardens of New Mexico was formed in an attempt to meet this demand but also as a way to raise funds for other garden projects that positively affect the lives of impoverished people throughout the world. A percentage of our profits are used to support these projects. 

     It is the hope of Veggiegrower Gardens' employees and supporters that our breakthrough garden design can improve the lives of people from all walks of life.
