Community Garden Directory

Welcome to the Community Garden Directory! This map is maintained by Gardening Matters with the help of volunteers, and the cooperation of community gardens from across the State of MN--Thank you! 

We depend on community gardeners to register their garden with us by filling out our Community Garden Survey (also available in Word) in order to keep this map up-to-date. If you are a coordinator or a community garden not listed on this map, or if your communtiy garden entry is out of date, please fill out the survey and/or contact us!  

Please Note: if you belong to a community garden, but you do not want to be listed on this map for whatever reason, please still fill out the Community Garden Survey! There is an option to "opt out" of being listed on this Directory for those of you who would like to keep your community garden's location private to the general public. For that reason, although this Community Garden Directory is very comprehensive, it is not a complete representation of all community gardens in Minnesota. 

Interested in joining a community garden near you? Fill out our Community Garden Referral Form and we'll get back to you with contact information for community gardens near you. Since community gardens are all run a little differently (Gardening Matters doesn't directly manage or run any community gardens--more about what we do here), we usually aren't able to guarantee you a space or tell you availability at any one particular community garden, but we can get you in touch with the right people to talk to!

Get to know these community spaces! Interested in visiting a community garden near you? Each year in August, Gardening Matters organizes a statewide community garden open house called Community Garden Day. This year, Community Garden Day will take place on Saturday, August 11, 2012. This is your chance to get to know a community garden near you a little better! More information, including a Directory of Participating Gardens is available here.
