MARC Community Garden
Our community garden is open to anyone who wants to learn how to grow food with others. Both seasoned gardeners and beginners can enjoy this space. Each season, we collectively grow food in a large shared space and share our harvest with anyone who helps us maintain the garden. We also rent out thirty-five 4'x8' plots in which people can grow their own food to take home.
Our mission: In our garden, we create a positive community space where we grow healthy food and friendships. We do this through learning, open communication, and caring for each other and nature.
Cooking and Gardening Workshops
Summer cooking and gardening workshops are one way we learn together here at the garden. This summer, the novel coronavirus has changed the way we operate and the best way to stay up to date with garden happenings is by signing up for our weekly newsletter Email List and checking our garden FB page.
Rent a Plot
The MARC Community Garden rents out 4'x8' plots each season, including five wheelchair accessible, waist-high beds. We provide workshops and one-on-one support for new gardeners. Gardeners of all ages are welcome to garden with us.
