SCGFF began in May 2016 with ten (10) 5 X 20-foot beds, a 280-foot raspberry, and a strawberry bed. We have since added 4,800 square feet of beds, 60 fruit trees, an 85-foot strawberry bed, and a 400 square-foot asparagus bed. As a result, we have distributed thousands of pounds of fresh produce in the community of West Bloomington. 

​

Additionally, SCGFF believes in the power of educating youth to set positive patterns for the future. By working with youth-oriented organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Norma since 2016 SCGFF has been able to meet this goal. The garden promotes education on the environment, sustainability, and healthy living through classes and hands-on activities via Boys & Girls Club summer and afterschool programs.
