Market Street Community Garden A place where community members can create their own garden plot growing vegetables and flowers using organic methods.

A garden cared for by members of the Urbana community. Community members sign up for a plot to care for during the gardening season. They are also responsible for maintaining the general garden areas including lawn mowing, the compost pile and looking out for each other's gardens if they are in need of some extra watering or weeding. The community is invited to visit the 30 garden plots to see and learn about organic gardening or come by and enjoy the green space next to downtown. The community garden members give back by donating extra produce to the Caring Kitchen. If you are interested in having a garden plot, please contact the Garden contact person: Marsha Hess, 937-416-9854 by text or email [email protected].

Had a great evening for our annual Grilling in the Gardens. Steve and I haul our grill into the gardens every fall and cook delicious hotdogs for all the gardeners and their guests. Was a beautiful evening and we had a great time!

Linda Lensman, a fellow Master Gardener, did a presentation on tagging Monarch butterflies. It was so interesting! We actually tagged some butterflies and let them go.

Has been a great year at the gardens!

What a beautiful day we had for Blessing of the Garden! Thank you to Pastor Emma Helms-Steinmetz from Messiah Lutheran Church for doing our blessing. It was a lovely blessing service. The garden is more than just raised beds, it is a community of friends helping friends and a shared love of gardening. Thank you Pastor Emma and thank you to all who attended!

Very happy to report that all the beds are rented and paid for at the Community Gardens this year already. We are welcoming three new gardeners to our group this year. Always good to see new faces at the gardens!

We now have a beautiful new Gorilla Cart for our gardeners to use, thanks to a generous donation from the Better Gardens Club. I have one just like this at home and really like it. I'm sure it will get a lot of use at the gardens!

Water is on at the gardens (thanks to Urbana City Water!) and available for all the gardeners to use. Our water gets a lot of use by the boys playing basketball across the street at Barbara Howell Park. They are most welcome to come over and use the water hydrant at the gardens.

Feel free to stop by the gardens and chat with the gardeners there. I am sure they would be happy to show you what they have growing!
