Big Green is a Denver-based nonprofit founded in 2011 that teaches people how to grow their own food. Its approach emphasizes that growing food can improve nutrition security and mental health, increase time spent outdoors, and foster a shared awareness of the climate effects of collective action. The organization supports schools, families, and communities across the country by providing training, grants, garden bed donations, and materials to teachers and growers to create and sustain garden programs. In 2024, Big Green shifted its focus from maintaining community gardens and teaching gardening and healthy eating to distributing grants to support garden programs. Based in Denver, it operates with a modest staff.
