Americana Community Garden: Meeting At The Garden

Meeting At The Garden

We’ll be having a work day on Saturday, September 22^nd.

We’re trying something new at the Americana gardens, a definite, open volunteer day once a month. For now, its once a month.

Hopefully, we’ll see plenty of attendance and possibly even have them once a week in the future.

We’ll be cooking up a lunch, with as many vegetables from our gardens as we can.

It’ll be your chance to get to know our gardeners and maybe even learn a little something.

About our garden

The Community Garden at Americana has been an essential part of programming since 2006. Growers from all over the world come together to grow food for their families and to share with their community. "It's the whole world in 1/5th of an acre."

Many of our growers come from places where subsistence gardening is a way of life. Green space & gardening had to be sacrificed when they left home, especially when relocating to urban areas, but now Americana can offer them the option of gardening on our grounds. The community garden is an important asset to our community as a neighborhood gathering place, a resource for families to obtaining healthy food, and an outdoor education facility for our youth.

The continued success of our garden program depends on our generous donors and volunteers. For more information on how you can assist the program and be a part of our garden, contact Abby Rudolph, Community Garden Coordinator, at 502-366-7813 or abby@americanacc.org.
