Discover the Joy of Gardening 

If you've ever been interested in learning about growing vegetables and flowers you are welcome in our garden located in the heart of East Biloxi. Thanks to our partnership with the Mississippi Farm to School Network, we are thrilled to engage members of community about the many benefits of eating locally grown, nutritionally dense foods and promote environmental stewardship.

Our Community Garden also includes a composting area, and several room for growing flowers, and features art created by youth in the community. Our garden is 100% organic with no chemicals or pesticides being used.

Please contact our welcome desk for questions regarding volunteering. All are welcome!
