Our Purpose

To promote gardening as a life-skill necessary to maintain a healthy and vibrant community. Our garden is a gathering place, an educational resource, and a source of healthy, organic food for the community. We currently offer gardening space to individuals and families for a nominal fee. In addition, we have gardening space for schools, nonprofit organizations, and youth groups to use free of charge. We currently have 10 plots dedicated to growing food for our local food pantry, The Kitchen Cupboard. 4 plots are designated as learning gardens for beginner gardeners, 1 plot is used by the Boyscouts, and 1 plot is used by the United Counseling Service.
