Swinton Community Growing Project

Located in downtown Delray Beach, Florida at 30 N Swinton Ave, SCGP is a perma-pop-up project guided equally by the principles of permaculture and by our need for short term, intensive growing. Seeking to enrich our understanding of how caring for plants and the earth is to care for ourselves, SCGP's food forest addresses existing air flow, microclimates, and inherent energy of the space to utilize a myriad of growing methods and structures. We grow food in traditional raised beds, beautiful log beds, in storied planting guilds and portable grow bags. We cultivate a small orchard and butterfly garden, too! At SCGP you will find beloved annual vegetables like leafy greens, tomatoes, and peppers, as well as lesser known but fabulous and nutritional superstar perennials such as katuk, callaloo, chaya, and moringa. We offer educational workshops and pop-up community events and are committed to providing the opportunity to learn through nature how to support resilience in the garden, ourselves, and community.
