The Greenhouse Project

The Greenhouse Project (tgp) has been serving The carson city community since 2010 with its mission of "growing, giving and teaching for a healthier, greener, sustainable community." Tgp provides year-round fresh produce to community organizations in carson city who serve The food- insecure of our community. Since food production began, tgp has donated over 29,500 pounds of fresh, healthy produce (as of 4/2024) to eight local organizations that directly and primarily serve low- and very-low-income families and individuals in The carson city community. Tgp also contributes to The work-based learning opportunities of The more than 200 carson high school agricultural students through on-site education. All students, including special needs students, learn about sustainable practices by helping with planting and nurturing Greenhouse crops, including The petunia seedlings used for The downtown corridor hanging flower basket beautification Project. In addition, tgp offers monthly gardening education classes to community members, free of charge.
