Gardens are open Monday through Friday and open for the community to harvest at their own time. We ask each family to harvest only what they need for one meal. Gardens are funded by grants and private donations, and maintained and managed by NHCDG, a Collaborative Cottage Grove Partner. Gifts-In-Kind are also welcome and appreciated. Garden classes are available by sign-up. See the sign-up form on our website or call the numbers above.

Summer Mornings by the Garden Program: The summer gardening program begins on June 16th - July 16th. Teaching kids to garden is about sowing the seeds of knowledge, responsibility, and respect for nature. Gardening has educational value, encourages healthy eating, teaches responsibility, and teaches about the importance of caring for the environment. Enjoying gardening experiences where learning is fun for the family. Come play, learn, and grow through gardening with us!
