CITY SPROUTS GARDEN CAMPUS

Community Garden

City Sprouts became a group in 1995 when community members came together to reclaim an overgrown city lot and make it a garden.  The group’s organizers bought the 1/2 acre lot and, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, weeds were cleared, beds were dug, and seeds planted.  Today, the garden is planted each year and maintained by City Sprouts Garden Crew volunteers.  Everyone is welcome to harvest fresh, in-season produce, explore the garden space, and attend a community event or workshop.  The garden is open from dawn until dusk 365 days a year.

Education Center

In January 2005, a generous donor gave City Sprouts a three-story residence built in 1906, adjacent to our Community Garden.  This house now serves as the City Sprouts Education Center.  The second and third floors provide office space for our staff.  The first floor now serves as an open room to hold lectures and workshops.

Free Pantry

Located in the historic Orchard Hill neighborhood, City Sprouts' Free Pantry operates on the belief that everyone deserves to have their basic food needs met, no questions asked.  By offering free, fresh, and non-perishable items, City Sprouts helps combat food insecurity while fostering a spirit of generosity and care within the community.  Learn more about the pantry here.

Chicken Coop

Visited by passersby, school children, and neighbors, the Chicken Coop is a City Sprouts favorite. We have 12 breeds of chickens, who lay eggs of all colors, from brown to green.

Cob Oven

New in 2018 and located in our community garden, our cob oven was constructed by natural builder Jim Schalles. It now serves as the focal point of potlucks, pizza parties, and other celebrations in the garden.
