Como Grow A Row

June 4, 2026

A lush vegetable and flower garden fills the frame, with raised beds, leafy tomato plants, herbs, flowering perennials, and a large container of purple petunias in the foreground. A soft dark green gradient overlays the bottom of the image, and large white serif text across the center reads, "GROW ONE EXTRA ROW." The banner has a calm, inviting feel and promotes growing additional produce to share with neighbors in need.

Join Como Park Lutheran Church, the Como Community Seed Library and our Como Park neighbors for our 4th year of the Como Grow-a-Row initiative. The idea is simple, whether you have a garden bed or a single container, plant a little extra this season and share your harvest with local organizations fighting food insecurity; Keystone Community Services and Peace House Community both accept fresh produce. Last year our collective efforts resulted in over 2500 lbs. of fresh, locally grown produce being donated to local organizations!
