Menomonie Community Garden

This summer is the perfect thyme to join a community garden! The goal of community gardens, according to the Forest Street Community Garden group, is to “provide an area for individuals and families to garden, and to build and nurture community friendships to share and enhance gardening skills.” The Eau Claire Community Gardens currently have fewer than five plots open. Membership in the shared gardens costs $30 annually or $35 annually to rent a 20’-by-20’ plot for gardening. If you’d like to give back to the community, the Forest Street Community Garden group encourages folks to donate foodstuff to the Community Table to support those in the community who are hungry. But there’s community gardens all over the Valley and beyond, so find one near you, and grow something good!
