Gardener Quotes

In the News

 

"The earth heals souls...The garden feeds people in a multitude of ways."

"When we see our neighbors there, and visit with them, it makes us feel closer as a family because we are interacting more with the people of our community, and growing things together—sharing this essential part of human existence together."

"People need a place to go... People need a sanctuary."

"It is an inspiring place not only for those who garden, but for the community as well. As the city becomes more and more supportive and active in sustainability, I think community gardens speaks to that mission incredibly well."

"There is still a heart beating in the middle of the city."

 

Thank you for the outpouring of donations! The 4th East Community Garden officially became oour on June 18th, 2008!

WCG raised funds to save the existing garden from being sold for development in early 2008. WCG's purchase of the property at 553 S. 400 E., known as the 4th East Garden, ensured the continuation of the over 25-year-old community garden.
