Meredith Gardens is an inner-city oasis! In addition to fostering community spirit and cooperation, the garden provides a learning environment. It helps educate the public about organically grown food and a natural ecosystem. Home-schoolers, public, and private schools have all visited the garden. 

If you would like to garden at Meredith Gardens, please review the Gardeners' Handbook and complete an Application. Garden plots are assigned to gardeners who have qualified by volunteering initially at least 8 hours in the park.  After completing these hours, gardeners are expected to continue volunteering on work days or in leadership positions as needed. 

Gardeners on a waitlist for a garden meet at monthly garden gatherings, and at other times by invitation (email or text). Until you are assigned a garden of your own, you may plant and harvest in the waitlist plot. Since we can’t predict when a garden will become available, please be prepared for a lengthy wait.

For other questions, please contact our Gardens Coordinator, Susan Allen-Bryan gardens@mandellpark.org
