Empowering Green Bay residents to grow food and be part of a sustainable urban agricultural system.

“Lettuce” Wrap Up the 10th Annual New Leaf Garden Blitz 


The mission of the Garden Blitz is to empower Green Bay residents to grow food and be part of a sustainable urban agricultural system. 


After 10 years of installing garden boxes, we continue to ensure access to nutritious whole foods that create a healthier, more beautiful community, one garden at a time!!


2023 Accomplishments!!

  • 65 garden boxes built, installed and soil filled 
  • 12 garden boxes donated to the Center for Veterans Issues

All of us from New Leaf Foods, Inc. would like to thank our amazing volunteers for their time and dedication to making this year's Blitz a success!!!

2023 GARDEN MENTOR PROGRAM SUCCESS

This year we paired 11 experienced garden mentors with mentees who will work together this summer to ensure long term gardening success.


Volunteer mentors are trained and given a resource guide with helpful handouts, tips, and topics to cover with their mentee. 


Anyone who purchases a garden box is eligible to sign up for the program. The garden mentor will provide guidance and assistance as the mentee builds gardening confidence in their first growing season.


Look for updates as we follow the garden mentor- mentee relationship between our very own Andy DiMezza and Brittany Arnold this summer!!!

Urban Food Forest Perennial Fruit Tree and Bush Sale Recap

During our 2023 New Leaf Garden Blitz, we sold 300 perennial Nanking Cherry, American Hazelnut, American Plum, Elderberry, Juneberry, Raspberry, Blackberry and Currant trees/bushes.


We met our goal of helping you become a food producer. Our community supports growing locally, building community through cooperation, direct action and sharing the love of delicious, freshly grown food.


We can’t wait to see the growth and the bounty for years to come!!!
