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!

The ‘Souper’ Soup Cookbook
Friends and Gardeners, so many of you were curious about our annual Soup Dinner recipes and now there is a ways for you to get them all. We are SO EXCITED to share that our Soup Cookbook is done and available for purchase at these following fantastic local businesses:
– Sunflower Bakery,
– Gardenwerks,
– Real Food Market & Deli, and
– at the Montana Book Company!

We feel so lucky to have such great local support! The cookbook is $20 with every dollar and dime directly supporting the work of Helena Community Gardens thanks to our Board member Amie Butler.
