About HOPE GARDENS
H.O.P.E. Gardens is a Michigan-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that teaches nature-based, no-till gardening to children, families, teachers, and community members as a practical strategy to address food insecurity and build food skills. Its programs focus on school garden installation and curriculum, community workshops, and educator resources to create hands-on learning that connects students to healthy food and the natural world. This profile was prepared after verifying the organization's EIN (47-3303989) in public nonprofit records and recent filings. In recent years H.O.P.E. Gardens has expanded its school-garden network and public programming, running an annual heirloom plant sale and community workshops to support program delivery and community engagement.
