In response to COVID, we are supporting our community to grow food. The Riley Park Garden Guide is an online resource and community resource to provide one-on-one mentorships with expert/Master Gardeners, helping you with a site assessment to determine soil quality, suggesting soil amendments and crops; and providing you with some seeds to get your garden going or producing short Gardening Tips videos.
In the Riley Park Community Garden (RPCG), please follow these guidelines:
Our maximum number of gardeners is 4 people. Sign Up for our Small Team Gardening sessions led by a volunteer. Everyone welcome.
The garden is closed to the public when gardeners are at work & Riley Park Summer Farmers Market (Saturdays until 3:00pm).
