What is a community garden?

A community garden is a piece of land gardened by people individually or collectively. Community gardens are usually divided into individual plots, and each individual is responsible for their own plot.

Benefits of a community garden:

  • Easy Care! With raised garden beds, they are easily accessible for the elderly or people with special needs or disabilities.

  • Reduce cost of groceries.
    Food Security.

  • Gardens can be used to educate children about where our food comes from, as well as nutrition, sustainability, cooperation, and fine motor skills.

  • Great for people who live in apartments or have limited space for a garden at home.

  • Improve air quality in the community, while also reducing waste by composting.

  • Can be used by local restaurants to grow their own fresh ingredients.

  • Mind, Body, Spirit.
    Promotes mental health, physical activity, and better dietary habits.

  • Promotes social well-being.
    Meet your neighbors!

  • Replaces vacant land with beauty and purpose, which in turn increases property value.
