Community Gardens Program

Montgomery Parks community gardens program offers Montgomery County residents the opportunity to use public space and water to garden an individual plot at low cost. Over 250 plots are available for 2010 for annual planting at several locations. As the program grows and neighbors come together, Montgomery Parks will respond by increasing community garden spaces.

In a community garden you can:

  • Grow vegetables, herbs and flowers for personal use
  • Produce healthy food and improve your family’s nutrition at a low cost
  • Beautify your neighborhood and increase your property value
  • Take pride in caring for a community space
  • Form friendships and learn skills from other gardeners in your community
  • Practice environmental stewardship and self-reliance
  • Improve your physical, mental and emotional health

Community gardens grow much more than vegetables and gardeners. Together the environmental, economic, and aesthetic impacts come together to transform strangers into friends and neighborhoods into communities:
