What you should know when looking at the Garden Directory:
Each garden is run independently. You'll find the contact information for some gardens listed with their entry on the map. Once you have the contact information for the gardens you are interested in, call or email them and find out more about how they are run, costs, plot size, and answers to any other questions you may have.
For many gardens on the directory, no contact information is listed per their request. In that case, note which gardens you are interested in and then fill out the Garden Request Form.
If you're interested in joining a garden, but don't find one near you, you can still use the Garden Request Form (below).
GET YOUR GARDEN ON THE MAP-REGISTER YOUR COMMUNITY GARDEN!
If you'd like to see your community garden on this Directory, please register your community garden with Gardening Matters by clicking on the link above, or download the registration in WORD and send it by email to info@gardeningmatters.org (subject "Garden Registration") or mail it to our office at the address listed on our website.
LOOKING FOR A COMMUNITY GARDEN SPACE?
Fill out the Garden Request Form by clicking on the link (above). Gardening Matters will then contact you to give you contact information for the coordinator(s) of a community garden that has space available and meets your needs. NOTE: By early spring, most established community gardens that Gardening Matters is aware of are already full with waiting lists. The early bird gets the worm! If you find that the community gardens you are interested are already full but would still like to garden this season, there are a couple of things to consider:
- Yards to Gardens is a virtual land-gardener matchmaking service for the Twin Cities
- Start a community garden where you live!
- Finding Land for a Community Garden written for Minneapolis Local Food Resource Hub members, but most of the information is the same no matter where you live!
