Join Our Community Garden
Our community garden is more than just a place to grow food, it's a space to grow together. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just curious about planting your first seed, we welcome you to join us in creating a shared space that celebrates culture, supports healthy lifestyles, and strengthens community connections.
Our goal is to bring community members into our garden space and build a sense of connection where people can share knowledge and learn about gardening together. We also aimed to promote healthy lifestyles, increase access to fresh produce, and create a welcoming environment where people from diverse backgrounds can collaborate, relax, and enjoy nature. With workshops we also hope for a great opportunity to celebrate local culture, and inspire community-led initiatives that support food sustainability.
Who Can Join?
Anyone who loves gardening or wants to learn is welcome. Participants must be at least 7 years old and supervised by an adult if under 18.
What We Offer
Accessibility
We have two raised beds designed for individuals who use wheelchairs or have difficulty kneeling. Please note that while we strive to be inclusive, ADA accessibility at this location is limited.
When Is the Garden Open?
