Lynchburg Grows is an urban farm that takes a hands-in-the-dirt approach to teaching others how sustainable food production promotes a healthy planet. Seeded in 2003, our non-profit's mission is centered on giving people with special needs a space to share their talents and skills while acquiring new ones. We are situated on 6.5 acres in historic Lynchburg, Va., with two of those acres spread among nine greenhouses.

Our rose greenhouse is an expanse of living history that’s designated as a tribute to the five decades of rose production done by the Schenkelfamily until 1999. As a showcase, this is the sturdy Cypress-wood greenhouse that often impresses visitors with 12 varieties of roses – some rare – that encompass nine distinct colors and patterns.
