The Vermont Garden Network is a small nonprofit based in Essex Junction, Vermont, that aims to support and grow Vermont’s network of community and school gardens. It operates within the civic and social organizations arena, building partnerships with other nonprofits, parks and recreation departments, Master Gardeners, schools and colleges, and faith-based groups to empower people through gardening. Its mission focuses on expanding access to gardening resources, developing education and service-learning programs, ensuring equal opportunities for underserved groups, and fostering political support through networking and advocacy.

The organization pursues its goals through citywide and statewide advocacy, workshops, training, and networking, providing technical assistance to individuals and groups looking to establish or sustain sustainable community-based gardens. It supports garden-based education, outreach, and farm-to-school initiatives to help communities build self-reliance and interdependence through gardening. A recent development is a partnership with Homemattershere to support the resident community garden at Putney Landing.
