Grown in Columbus
A RESOURCE CELEBRATING OUR VIBRANT, GREEN-THUMBED COMMUNITY
Grown in Columbus celebrates and promotes the vibrant network of growers, makers, retailers, service providers, educators, community organizers and events in and around Clintonville, Ohio.
The content included here is the result of extensive crowd-sourcing. However — despite our best efforts — we know we haven’t captured everything. As such, we consider this to be a living resource and welcome updates and suggestions, which will be updated here and consulted when producing future print editions. For ease of use, all content is either hyperlinked or contains information about how to learn more.
We've already heard from friends in neighboring communities that there may be interest in producing similar resources for other areas, and we are eager to collaborate if so!
