Jefferson Avenue Community Garden is a welcoming neighborhood garden where people grow fresh food, build meaningful relationships, and care for our shared environment.
Jefferson Avenue Community Garden (JACG) is a community-managed garden dedicated to providing residents with a welcoming place to grow food, connect with neighbors, and promote environmental stewardship. Our garden brings together individuals and families from diverse backgrounds who share a common interest in healthy food, sustainable gardening, and building a stronger community.
We believe gardens have the power to transform neighborhoods. They create opportunities for learning, encourage healthy living, support local biodiversity, and foster friendships that extend far beyond the garden gate.
Whether you're looking for a place to grow vegetables, volunteer your time, learn new gardening skills, or simply enjoy being outdoors, JACG welcomes you.
