At Nemas Gardens, we believe that growing food is more than a hobby. It’s a radical act of care, connection, and community.
That’s why we’re launching the 1000 Growers Initiative, a call to action for up to 1000 people to grow and garden with us.
Whether you’re planting herbs on a windowsill, tending a backyard plot, or leading a school garden, you’re invited to be part of something bigger. Together, we’re cultivating a future that’s resilient, regenerative, and rooted in shared purpose.
What Is the 1000 Growers Initiative?
The 1000 Growers is a community-powered campaign to inspire, support, and connect people who want to grow their own food—no matter their experience level or space. It’s about reclaiming our relationship with the land, learning from one another, and building a network of growers who believe in:
Self-sufficiency: Growing what we eat, sharing what we learn, and reducing dependence on fragile food systems.
Sustainability: Using regenerative practices that nourish the soil, conserve water, and support biodiversity.
Strength in numbers: Creating a vibrant community of growers who uplift each other and amplify impact.
Why Now?
Food insecurity, climate change, and disconnection from nature are real challenges—but they’re also invitations. Invitations to dig in, get our hands dirty, and grow solutions from the ground up.
By joining the 1000 Growers, you’re not just planting seeds. You’re planting hope, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
Who Can Join?
Everyone. Seriously.

The 1000 Growers isn’t just about plants. It’s about people.
It’s about reclaiming our power to nourish ourselves and each other. It’s about showing that when we grow together, we thrive together.
