Inaugural Planting: May 2026

Hope Grows Community Garden is a garden for the community, by the community. Everything we hope to cultivate - fresh food, meaningful connection, shared learning, and a place of restoration - depends on the hands and hearts of volunteers who believe in this mission.

Right now, we’re busy building and preparing the garden site, located four minutes east of downtown Waynesville off of Pigeon Road. We’ll be sharing in-progress photos here as the garden takes shape.

Soon, we will need volunteers!

Whether you can give several hours a week or occasional help, your presence matters. From building beds to planting, watering, harvesting, and sharing food with neighbors in need - every act of service helps bring this garden to life. We cannot do this alone.

Come plant, grow, and serve alongside us!

If this mission speaks to you, we invite you to join us. Please fill out the form below to stay updated on our progress and to receive information on volunteer opportunities.

Together, we can cultivate hope… one seed, one season, one neighbor at a time.
