Our 501(c)3 non-profit organization manages ten gardens across our community where we provide seeds, tools, healthy soil and growing support for every level of gardener. To learn more check out this list of our gardens. Gardens are filled first by returning gardeners, then on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each of our community gardens provides participants with an individual plot, tools, water, compost, straw, common space and the knowledge and guidance of Garden Managers and the HCG network. With these resources, and a little bit of persistence and patience gardeners cultivate food for their family, friends, and we encourage donations to Helena Food Share as well!
Find our community gardens’ individual sign-up links below. Please take a look at the instructions before you click on your garden’s link. We are not doubting your tech savvy-ness, but we believe the instructions will help you successfully complete this process.

Rummage Sale & Plant Swap
Sunday, April 21st from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at 6th Ward Community Garden Park
It’s that time of year again, gardening friends! Do you have gardening supplies that you never use sitting in your garage or shed? Or do you have plants in your yard or garden that need divided, or maybe extra seed starts? If so, HCG has just the solution for you! As a fundraiser, HGC is sponsoring a rummage sale and plant swap, andnd while you’re there, join us for one or both of our pollinator workshop. They’ll be at 1:30 and at 2:30 PM!
Gardening items for donation to the event could include extra tools, planters or pots (please, no commercial plastic pots), seed starter supplies, hoses, drip lines, etc. All items should be in good, workable condition. Donated plants such as perennial flowers, raspberry starts, seed starts, etc. should be individually potted and labeled.
You can drop off your gardening items and/or plants for donation at the east side of the 6th Ward Park any time after 11:00 am on April 21st for pricing. All proceeds go to support Helena Community Gardens.
