The GroW Community Garden is a block-length plot of land (located on H Street between 23rd and 24th Streets). It is supported by the George Washington University, and maintained by two student managers (employed by the University) as well as a volunteer base.
All of the produce is grown to support the work of Miriam's Kitchen, a nonprofit organization that aims to end chronic homelessness in Washington D.C. Miriam's incorporates fresh, local produce into the meals they serve their guests Monday through Friday every week of the year.
In addition to supporting Miriam's, the GroW Community Garden functions as a tool to educate and build community at GW. It offers students and community members a place to learn about native, organic food systems by providing service opportunities in sustainable gardening, food distribution, and community outreach. GroW also raises awareness through education and advocacy around issues of local food production, environmental justice, and developing a strong local economy.

In April of 2023, the Grow Garden brought sheep to campus to sustainably trim the garden. Students, staff, and faculty welcomed the sheep with enthusiasm and lots of petting.
