Welcome back, gardeners!

Guided work parties are back on at Riley Park Community Garden starting Wednesday, March 13 from 10am–12pm. They will take place every Wednesday and Sunday (with some exceptions) from now into December. Join us as we grow, harvest, and share organic, culturally appropriate produce. All experience levels are welcome! Sign up here.

RPCG has a communal model of community gardening which means we share the work and the harvest. Following organic gardening practices, gardeners come together to plan, plant, weed, and harvest. Harvests are shared among volunteers and produce is donated to the LMNH programs and to our community fridge. Novice gardeners work alongside experienced gardeners, sharing customs and stories around the food we grow and eat together. 

We grow a variety of culturally specific foods and have garden beds dedicated for Middle Eastern, Japanese, Asian, and Latino veggies. Regular formal and informal educational sessions also take place in the garden on growing seasonal food. There are no waitlists to join this community garden, just a willingness to show up and join in the fun of growing food!
