Community Gardens

Project Grow has been a part of the Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County community since 1972. Over the years some community garden sites have come and gone due to development, others have remained with Project Grow since those early days. Project Grow's goal has always been to promote community through gardening, and in later years, sustainable gardening practices became part of that goal as well. Project Grow currently has 10 community garden sites around the Ann Arbor area.

To learn more about the individual gardens, their locations and other information, click on the Individual Garden Info link above. To learn more about Project Grow gardening policies and other information such as plot sizes, click on the Gardening Guidelines link above. If you are interested in our fee structure or application procedure, please click on the Garden Application & Survey link above.

We also are proud of our multi generational and wheelchair accessible barrier free gardens, the Discovery Gardens, located at the Leslie Science Center and at County Farm Park.
