Launch Community Garden

The Launch Community Garden is a shared green space dedicated to growing food, building community, and promoting sustainability. Our mission is to empower people of all ages and backgrounds to connect through gardening, learn new skills, and cultivate healthy, local produce.

At the heart of the garden is a commitment to inclusivity and education. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a complete beginner, there’s a place for you. Members can reserve individual plots or participate in communal growing areas. We also host regular workshops on composting, seed saving, organic growing methods, and more.

Our goals include:

  • Increasing access to fresh, nutritious food

  • Strengthening neighborhood connections

  • Supporting pollinators and local biodiversity

  • Encouraging healthy outdoor activity

  • Sharing knowledge about sustainable gardening practices

We believe that growing food is more than a hobby—it’s a way to launch meaningful change in our community. Everyone is welcome to get involved, volunteer, or simply visit and enjoy the space.

Join us at the Launch Community Garden and help plant the seeds for a healthier, greener future!
