About


Our Mission: To create an opportunity to grow food for area residents and local food banks, to cultivate community interaction and fun across all ages, cultures and income levels, to provide a learning environment for organic sustainable growing practices, and to beautify Lilburn.


Our Vision: To grow our community by creating and sustaining a community garden to nourish the body, to nurture the spirit and to encourage learning.​

Established in 2012 with 25 beds, the Lilburn Community Garden has more than doubled in size to 58 beds, including 6 handicapped accessible easy access beds. Members "rent" a garden bed for a year and may grow vegetables, fruit or flowers.


During growing season (April - October) we offer gardening classes (beginners and experienced folks are welcome) on select Saturdays - check our Facebook page for dates, times and topics. We encourage members to donate any excess produce to Lilburn Co-op. The Board maintains some beds exclusively for the Co-Op. Anyone can tour the garden and enjoy the view but picking produce is exclusive to the families who planted and nourished their gardens.
