Community Garden Program
The Community Garden Program offers residents the opportunity to grow their own flowers, vegetables, and herbs while connecting with neighbors and enjoying the outdoors. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just getting started, this program provides a welcoming space to learn, share, and cultivate.
The garden is managed through the Recreation Department, with oversight focused on maintaining a well-organized, accessible, and community-oriented space. Plots are assigned to participants for the growing season, with a combination of individual and shared responsibilities to ensure the garden thrives for everyone.
Participants are responsible for planting, maintaining, and harvesting their own plots, while also contributing to the overall upkeep and positive environment of the garden. Water access, shared tools, and basic infrastructure are provided to support gardeners throughout the season.
