Turner Farm Community Garden Program
The Turner Farm Community Garden Program is committed to connecting people to their food through collaborative methods and innovative urban land use. Through sustainable biological agricultural practices, collaborative work, experiential learning and civic engagement, we help grow strong communities through vegetable gardening.
Where We Grow
At present the Turner Farm Community Garden Program supports four community gardens:
East End Community Garden
Price Hill Community Garden
Franciscan Community Garden
Winton Terrace Community Garden
Grow With Us
Our emphasis is a collectively managed market-style approach to community gardening. Participants work cooperatively to grow, harvest and share fresh and healthy fruits and vegetables. We are always researching community interest, need and existing gardens in Greater Cincinnati area neighborhoods. The purpose of our research is to avoid duplication of existing services and to better understand and identify neighborhoods with an interest in community-based gardening. If you are a resident or organization interested in starting a community garden or exploring a collectively managed market-style approach for an existing community garden, please contact us.
Gardening Basics for the Home & Community Garden Class Series
A series of five classes offered by the Turner Farm Community Garden Program and hosted by the Price Hill Branch Library
During this interactive workshop series, we will grow together in knowledge, community, and well-being. On-site garden basics will be explored together at the Price Hill Community Garden. We will also utilize the study rooms at the Price Hill Branch Library located next to the community garden. Class topics include soil preparation, seed starting, pest management, harvesting for healthy eating, nutrition and more.
To inspire and sustain a lifetime of gardening, our training approach to home and community gardening is supported by classes to provide a foundation of knowledge and hands-on gardening experiences in community gardens. To support you in successfully gardening at home, or in a community garden, we will provide supplemental handouts that outline gardening best practices.
Classes are FREE and open to the public, with advance registration.
