Lexington Manor Passive Park Community Garden

Promote health & exercise

Working in the garden will provide an outlet for stress through physical exercise. The garden will also make it easier to incorporate fresh produce into your diet.

Create A Community Gathering Space

Located in the heart of Lexington Park, the garden will be a place for community members to meet and work together. Events and educational programs will also be hosted at the garden.

Provide Fresh Produce

We are in need of accessible, healthy food — this garden will provide exactly that! Community members can take the produce they need at no cost. All excess produce will be donated to local food banks.

About The Garden

Location

The garden plot is in Lexington Manor Passive Park, nearby the Post Office. Next time you’re at the park, keep an eye out for the Community Garden sign!

ADA Accessible & Open To All

The garden will have ADA-accessible tiles and paths, as well as garden beds on legs to allow gardeners to work while seated.

The large garden beds will be open to all select hours of the week and shared among community members. During harvest, community members can take the produce they need. Excess produce will be donated to local food banks.

Status

We have the plot ready and we’ll be breaking ground soon! We have the funds for construction, but we still need to raise money for operations.

The Current Model
