How community gardens could help cut some costs amid looming tariffs

By Emily Schrad
Published: Mar. 10, 2025 at 6:17 PM EDT

#CedarRapidsIA (KCRG) - "And as the threat of tariffs looms, many are looking for ways to save money where they can.

"Many might think gardening is out of reach. But leaders at #CultivateHope’s #UrbanFarm in #CedarRapids said they’re seeing a growing interest in growing food. And a #CommunityGarden can be a cost-effective way to get started.

"From supply chain issues with the pandemic, to inflation and now tariff threats, Peggy Stover, Director of the Marketing Institute at the University of Iowa said there’s a variety of things that have caused grocery prices to soar over the past five years.

"'If tariffs were imposed, the average American family would expect to pay anywhere from $1600 to $2000 more a year out of their pocket because of high price increases,' said Stover.

"As many look for ways to cut costs, some are turning to gardening.

"While not everyone has the space for a large garden, Anyssa Ball, Cultivate Hope’s Urban Farm Program Manager says community gardens can be a great way to get your foot in the door of the gardening world."
