Every program at the Community Garden is designed to serve both the community and the individuals who work here.
From services to seasonal offerings, each one creates opportunities for learning, connection, and growth.
The heart of the team is made up of individuals with developmental disabilities who carry out the day-to-day work. From planting and harvesting to customer service and operations, they are the driving force behind the garden.
The Lady Bug Release is one of the garden’s most anticipated events.
Families, schools, and community members gather to release ladybugs into the garden while learning about their role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. The event also provides an opportunity to explore the garden, meet the team, and experience the mission in action.
Our team plants, maintains, and refreshes pots throughout the year. This includes watering, seasonal plant rotation, soil adjustments, and ongoing care to keep planters healthy and visually appealing.
Team members take ownership of this service, traveling to locations, assessing plant health, and making real-time decisions with support when needed.
Aquaponics systems allow for efficient, sustainable growing, while indoor microgreens production provides a consistent supply of fresh, nutrient-rich products.
Team members are involved in every step, from planting seeds to harvesting and packaging, gaining specialized skills along the way.
Throughout the year, the garden offers a wide selection of products depending on the season.
These products are sold through the Garden Hub and Farmers Market, making fresh, locally grown options accessible to the community.
The garden serves as an interactive learning environment for visitors of all ages.
From preschool groups to seniors, guests can explore how food is grown, learn about sustainability, and see firsthand how the program operates. These experiences help build awareness while creating meaningful connections between the community and the garden.
Every program is designed with purpose.
They create jobs, build independence, and provide opportunities for individuals to develop skills that extend beyond the garden. At the same time, they strengthen the community by offering fresh products, services, and educational experiences.
