The Community Gardens Program provides garden space and logistical assistance to Brown County residents to facilitate their access to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food.
Developed in 1996 by the Extension FoodWIse Program as part of an overall initiative to increase food security in Brown County, the program has expanded to 15 community gardens on over five acres with more than 375 plots and over 368 gardeners.
The gardens are supported by Brown County, Extension Brown County, the City of Green Bay, donors, and local volunteers.
Interested in growing your own food? For a small fee, you can rent a plot of land at one of our 14 community garden locations! (Some location are under construction and are not listed at this time.) Plot sizes range from 4’ x 8’ to 50’ x 50'*, and rental fees range from $15 to $55. Cut your grocery bill, get more fresh fruits and vegetables, and have fun as a family!
Please submit an interest/waitlist form here to be contacted for the current growing season.
