Community Gardens
Community Garden: a garden that benefits the broader community it exists in.
It’s a short definition…with endless possibilities! For over 40 years, the Civic Garden Center has been helping community members explore those possibilities.
We work with neighborhood residents to create community gardens, providing training and technical support for growing fruits and vegetables to create sustainable projects for the entire Greater Cincinnati region.
The many benefits of community gardens include:
Giving neighborhood residents the opportunity to have direct access to the fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables we all need.
Creating nurturing refuges, often in places that have no other public parks or green spaces.
Bringing people together, helping to build the bonds of community among diverse populations within a neighborhood.
Want to join with your neighbors to grow food for yourself? We’re here. Want to grow food for others? We have that covered, too. Children in nature? Therapy garden? Foraging space? Yes to all three!
Community Gardens: for better health, for better communities, for a better tomorrow.
