The compost in our raised bed/ cold frame boxes is well- drained and ready for peas, kale, spinach, and potatoes this week. Send a message, if you would like to be involved in the garden this year.

One "hour of power" grew into 2, rockstar volunteer Jessica joined Lydia for the evening, and that is 4 total woman-hours of work completed today: weeding, watering, raking, transplanting in the shade garden, installing a lavender border in the front circle, plant identification, harvesting salad greens, screening finished compost, potting up plants to give to our neighboring community garden, down the road! Tomorrow evening, we will be at it again, 6-7.

“where neighbors gather & grow”

The W. Colvin Community Garden began May 2015 with a "Green Lots" grant awarded from the Syracuse Land Bank. We are a Syracuse Grows member garden. Dozens of area families and individuals, along with community volunteers from Syracuse University & ESF, have contributed to developing the garden site, along with funding from the Syracuse Parks Conservancy. We have cultivated a vibrant growing and gathering space including plants, play structures, seating & storage. The garden is open for shared harvest of herbs, flowers, fruit & vegetables, and free books are accessible everyday in the Little Free Library #31036. Join us in 2019!
