Plots

Practices

The 13th Street Community Park & Garden is proud to provide a gardening space that is guided by organic and sustainable gardening principles. What does this mean? In our garden, we understand it to mean that all garden plots and surrounding park spaces are cultivated and maintained without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. We compost park and garden waste and pull weeds by hand. Whenever possible, we use practices that lessen negative impacts on the environment and promote healthy, sustainable garden management.
