Our Team

Growing Places Indy (GPI) fosters individual, family, and community well-being in Indianapolis through urban agriculture, access to fresh local food, and mind-body education. After nearly two decades of leadership in our field, GPI is transitioning into a collective model of operation.

GPI is devoted to growing the wellbeing of everyone. We are taking responsibility for our part in the systems and cycles that have eroded wellbeing, as well as our responsibility to seed and cultivate change – specifically related to agriculture, food access/affordability, and wellness. As we move forward, we are building a team that will hold GPI accountable to our community now and fearlessly advocate for a more equitable and just world for present and future generations.
