Welcome to The Garden of Peden

Our community garden is a place where individuals and families can come together to grow fresh produce, learn about sustainable gardening practices, and connect with their neighbors. We offer garden space, education, and community events throughout the year. Our garden is a great way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air while also doing something good for the environment.

Whenever you want, and as often as you want!

Every Wednesday we invite you to a community work day. We gather to tend the gardens together, socialize, and have a potluck dinner / lunch. Bring your family and friends for fun around the bonfire, something to share, and expect to build friendships and everlasting memories with like minded individuals.

Fruits and vegetables.
