What  is Lilburn

Community Garden

History

​​


Our Board:

We are a group of individuals from the Lilburn area who are joined together by an interest in gardening. 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 one bed 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.

​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. We continue our mission of: creating an opportunity for local residents to grow food; cultivating community interaction and fun across all ages, cultures and income levels; providing a learning environment for organic sustainable growing practices; and beautifying downtown Lilburn. Our vision is to grow our community by creating and sustaining a community garden to nourish the body, to nurture the spirit and to encourage learning.​
