The Homeless Garden Project (HGP) is a nonprofit corporation based in Santa Cruz, CA
that provides job training and transitional employment to people who are homeless. In
addition, HGP has a vibrant community volunteer and education program. The training,
employment, education and volunteer programs take place in an organic farm and
related enterprises. Trainees and participants experience the value of therapeutic
horticulture, are provided supportive services, and develop positive relationships and
technical skills. Products produced in the training program are sold through our
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, our year-round retail store, through
our online store, and wholesale to other retailers. Production provides for a real work
environment and is also a meaningful source of revenue for the Project.
