Village Gardens
Helping neighbors grow food, together.
Village Gardens is a community initiative that helps residents of the Village of Greenhills start, grow, and maintain home gardens. We assist with installation, seasonal support, and surplus collection, making it easy for any household to grow fresh produce.
Extra harvests are added to our Village Produce program to benefit the entire community.
What Village Gardens Does
🌱 Garden Installation
We help residents establish simple, productive garden beds in their yards. This can include:
- Bed placement and layout
- Soil and compost prep
- Starter plants or seeds
- Basic tools and beginner guidance
No experience needed — we’ll help you grow food confidently.
🌿 Seasonal Support & Maintenance
Our volunteers can help with:
- Watering plans
- Weeding
- Pests and plant health
- Harvest timing
- Troubleshooting any issues
We’re here to make gardening accessible to everyone.
🍅 Sharing Extra Harvest
If your garden grows more than you need, we’ll gladly pick it up. Surplus produce is added to Village Produce monthly deliveries, helping feed more households in the village.
