This has been quite the season for TGP. We added 3 giving gardens, our Garden Time! Horticultural therapy program grew from 1 to 2 locations, our new Project Grow with the Larimer County Corrections Center is making way in the spring, we traveled to Pine Ridge South Dakota to build a garden for our Lakota friends, and the Glean Team has reached its goal of 10,000 lbs of donated food! And this project continues to grow because of the unyielding support of our wonderful community, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving we want to offer a big THANK YOU for all you've done to help!

TGP would not be what it is today for not the tireless work of our volunteers; thank you for helping to build our garden beds, weed and harvest vegetables all summer long, and continually giving your time, heart and wisdom for all new projects we put forth.
We are also ever grateful for our local sponsors, so many of our efforts would not be possible without your contributions. Even throughout this recession you've funded our growth as well as your own, and for that we thank you. Big special shout out to Fort Collins Nursery, Bath Nursery, Odells Brewing Company, New Belgium Brewing company, Mugs and Starbucks for all of your gift backs, campaign & project support and recognition throughout the year. 
Thank you to Fort Collins Housing Authority for aiding in the growth of a wonderful partnership that will hopefully keep living up to food. people. justice. for years to come!
And to our fans on Facebook & Twitter, and you newsletter recipients, thanks for spreading the word (& the love) about The Growing Project! 
Even as the end of the year draws nearer, our projects aren't letting up & the time is flying by. In the midst of all the shopping, turkey, football and family visits of this weekend we'd like to pause in honor of the true meaning of this holiday, and tell you all how grateful we are.  

Sincerely,
The Growing Project
