FOCO COMMONS COMMUNITY MEETING NOTES:
In 2018, The Growing Project moved our therapy garden to the FoCo Cafe where we hosted 3 weekly sessions with disabled adults. We are currently in the design process for the garden and will hopefully be breaking ground for the rest of the garden in February 2019!
This garden is located at 225 Maple Street in Fort Collins, CO.

- to grow food for the meals that the cafe serves on a daily basis
- to provide meaningful work opportunities for people to earn meal tokens to the Cafe
- to demonstrate different growing techniques in an urban setting
- to provide a beautiful sanctuary for people to gather in the middle of downtown Fort Collins
