About
The Community Gardens Program provides garden space and logistical assistance to Brown County residents to facilitate their access to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food.
Developed in 1996 by the Extension FoodWIse Program as part of an overall initiative to increase food security in Brown County, the program has expanded to 14 community gardens on over five acres with more than 380 plots and over 250 gardeners.
The gardens are supported by Brown County, Extension Brown County, the City of Green Bay, donors, and local volunteers. Interested in starting a Community Garden?
