Urban community gardens are a critical component in sustainable food production. Not only does growing food locally reduce our carbon footprint, but it is a great way to improve our health through high quality organic food. The Green Cities Company and Green City Growers have teamed up to provide you with a community garden that produces healthy food for you to eat, but also programming around garden management including topics such as how to grow vegetable and care for pollinator plants, how to fertilize and take care of the soil, how to manage pests and diseases, and when and how to harvest.

The Produce:

Our organic produce changes throughout the season. Our goal is to provide you with a mix of produce like lettuces, spinach, radishes, peppers, Kale, carrots, beets, swish chard, tomatoes, a mixture of herbs like basil, cilantro, and rosemary. As the produce gets ready to pick, our management team will notify residents via the Resident Portal.

How to participate:

Our typical growing season is April through October. The garden program with Green City Growers will take place weekly, residents are welcome to attend and volunteer. Please ask our team for details if you are interested in participating.

Picking:

Please follow these simple rules when picking herbs and veggies:

- Please wait until plants are ripe to pick, this ensures they have time to grow large enough for the whole community to enjoy.

- Each plant should be labeled. If you can’t find a label, please ask one of our team members for assistance.

- Please pick plants with garden shears, stop by the office if you’d like to borrow a pair!
