High Springs Community Garden

Principles: Organic Cooperative & Shared Resource

 

The High Springs Community Garden’s mission is to provide a welcoming shared space to grow and care for fruits, vegetables and flowering plants. The “Community Plot” is tended by all our gardeners. We welcome you to grow and care for this plot with us! You may pick from the plot labeled “Community Plot” only, please respect our gardeners and do not touch plants in other plots.
