PCG facilitates food security and community involvement by overseeing a community garden and by encouraging gardeners to give back to the community by sharing their garden produce, knowledge, and dedication with others. PCG, which has fiscal sponsorship through the Lander Community Foundation, leases a 30,600-square-foot lot from the City of Lander. It has more than 50 raised beds that are rented to local gardeners. There are also several community plots where herbs, asparagus, squash, rhubarb, strawberries, plums, cherries, apples, and other produce are grown. The garden’s backyard homesteading program supports composting, chickens, and native pollinators. Produce grown for the Wyoming Hunger Initiative goes to the Lander Care and Share Food Bank and others in need.
