Board of Directors
It started with Connie and a Craigslist ad. Fourteen years later, Nine Square Feet is governed by a volunteer board of neighbors, gardeners, and community members who believe what we've always believed — that growing food together changes everything.
Our Mission Statement
Nine Square Feet is a 501c3 non-profit with a mission to share seeds, plants, and food in the Des Moines metro area and across Iowa. Our focus is on free education, workshops, and programs working with elementary kids and seniors. Our goal is fighting food insecurity through gardening and sharing nature’s diversity and bounty with our community.
