Community Gardens

Here in Forsyth County, NC, community gardens have taken root in neighborhoods, civic groups, faith communities, public parks, schools, and more. These are places where people come together to grow food, create and preserve green spaces, and bring neighbors together, and they are as diverse as the people gardening in them.

This will help us provide accurate information to potential garden members and volunteers about opportunities to get involved! Submitting or updating your Directory entry is also required to access Forsyth Community’s Gardening’s Seed Bank, Tool Lending, supply giveaways, and certain workshop series.
