The 2026 growing season is near at The Apple Gourd Project in Redwood Falls!

Do you need an organic plot to grow vegetables in a community owned fenced in garden? Starting this season we will have zero membership fees for individual plots that you will till and maintain independently. We have space for you to select your plot size and above ground containers available on a first come first select basis. Message us you are interested.

We want to give a huge shout out to the Redwood Falls Runnings Stores for their kindness. They gave us water for people working on planting day as well as a discount on plants!
We really appreciate you! ❤️🤍

I am looking forward to a season of learning to grow many different vegetables and how they taste. I appreciate that Redwood Falls, MN has such a large fenced community garden.

Terribly sorry, the other post had the wrong date.
The meet-up is Sunday May 4th!
I apologize for the confusion.

Keep your eyes open for info on our next meeting!

• Located on Cook Street in Redwood Falls, Mn (across from the Redwood Area Community Center parking lot
• Our garden is a not-for-profit project
• We share the whole garden space with the expectation that you spend an average of 2 hours/week there
• Fee to join: $50/year (per household)

If you're looking for a way to garden without having to invest a ton of money or dig up your property, consider joining us! We've got all the tools you'll need...we just need you! This is an excellent place for families to get time outside, connecting with the earth and disconnecting from electronics for a while. Maybe your child has sports practice across the street a couple times a week? Regardless of your situation, gardening offers a sort of therapy you can't get anywhere else. Not to mention, harvest time is pretty great!

If you're interested, please feel free to message this page and we'll do our best to get back to you in a timely manner. The garden is going through some changes from past years and we can't wait to get going on making the garden as fruitful as it used to be!

Stay tuned!

PLANTING NIGHT #2!

If you check out our last post, you'll see what we've already got planted and what we're hoping to plant Thursday,

Frequently asked questions:
How much does it cost?
$40 per household/year

Do we get our own plot?
Nope, this is a shared garden space. We get together at the beginning of the season and talk about what will be planted. We get plants and seeds from various sources and we share the work of planting, watering, weeding, mowing, etc. You'll be expected to spend at least an hour a week helping in some way. We do hold a few events that we hope to have lots of help with, but otherwise you can work on your own schedule.

How do we know what to do?
You will be added to a text group. We've found this to be the easiest way to keep everyone in *the same* loop with what's going on/ what needs to be done.

Are kids welcome?
Heck yes! Kids are the reason we have the garden in the first place. We have a big sandbox for the very littles and lots of spots to run.
