Community growing projects are often supported by a community gardener who teaches volunteers how to grow, co-ordinates food production.  Community meals may be delivered by the same group, or with a local community food partner.

Community growing projects are different from Neighbourhood Gardens in that: they seeks to grow at a network of sites; the participants grow as a group rather than managing their own raised bed; and the produce is channeled towards shared community meals and local good causes.  Community growing projects can run alongside  neighbourhood garden in the same community.
