Welcome to The Community’s Garden
The community garden movement in America has been strong and growing for many years. With an increased national focus on sustainability and preserving and growing local food sources, it becomes incumbent upon every community and organization to do what it can to make our Earth a better place. Community gardens can be many things, but at their essence they are a way to connect the residents of the community with nature and horticulture. Door County has a wonderful opportunity to create a garden for our community that will provide a laboratory for learning about how what we eat is directly related to how we feel, and how sunshine, rain, wind, soil, water and wildlife work together to provide us with the building blocks of a healthy life.
The Community’s Garden in Sturgeon Bay was established in 2010 and in Sister Bay in 2024. DCMC Board of Directors continue to pledge support of community gardens by providing a long-term $1 per year lease for the land to The Community’s Garden, a recognized non-profit organization. Our community gardens have been established as many homeowners or renters do not have the means, ability or proper location to garden. Both garden site locations have raised beds which provide easier hands on access to gardening.
