Biographical / Historical

Duluth Community Garden Program is a non-profit organization that was started in 1977 by neighborhood organizers who created a few gardens on vacant lots in Duluth's Central Hillside. In 2021 the program included 21 community garden sites containing over 270 garden plots organically gardened by over 200 families. Garden sites are subdivided into 400 square foot plots, made available on a sliding fee scale. The mission of the Duluth Community Garden program is to cultivate healthy neighborhoods by providing access to land, resources, and community.
