Welcome
HISTORY
Our garden was
established in 1987 by the Community
Action Coalition as a community garden for Madison's west side. It is located at 110 North Gammon Road, on
the grounds of the Lutheran Church of the Living Christ,
which gives the garden a beautiful hilltop home and generous in-kind support. It is open to all people on a first-come, first-serve basis.
WHO GARDENS HERE?
"At home, so sad ... at garden, so
happy."
