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!
No more missing out on dates for community garden plot sign-ups or our latest events! We have exciting news: You can now sign up for our newsletter by clicking below.
HCG has been accepted to participate in the SeedMoney Challenge 2024!
SeedMoney’s mission is supporting food security in communities through education and crowdfunding for public gardens and farms.
HCG’s goal is to raise $1,500 for much needed repairs and rebuilds of 10 raised garden beds at our Plymouth and 6th Ward Community Gardens. The campaign starts on Friday, November 15, 2024 at 10 am and will run for 30 days, through December 15, 2024 at 10 am.
