WOODRUFF COMMUNITY GARDEN
Emphasizing Community
Woodruff Community Garden is about enjoying the outdoors and growing wonderful vegetables, herbs, and flowers in our 6-acre space in Little Rock, Arkansas. All are welcomed, novices to master gardeners. The garden is a public pillar that has been in existence since 1996. Most of it is cultivated into a community-style garden where each gardener provides labor and helps with their fair share. Our main crops are Tomatoes, Potatoes, Lettuce, Herbs, Flowers, Green Beans, Cucumbers, Peppers, Peas, Squash, Okra, and Greens. Not only do we have crops, but we have beehives and bird boxes! Interested in growing with us? Individual plots are available for specialty crops if desired for a small fee. With a variety of crops and an array of wildlife, the Garden serves as a place to lessen the impact of food insecurity in Pulaski County and has a direct impact on the education of the youth and families about healthy foods and nutritious eating. Our garden possesses a strong base for sustainability, gardening, teaching, and getting community members involved. Come learn and grow with us!
LEARN ABOUT WOODRUFF COMMUNITY GARDEN
Who We Are
Woodruff Community Garden was founded in the historic Capitol View-Stifft Station neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. The land it sits on belongs to The Boys and Girls Club of Central Arkansas, specifically, The Billy Mitchell Club. Our garden is a component of this club and allows for hands-on teaching to boys and girls who are interested in learning more about sustainable urban farming. Our purpose is to educate the underserved and nutritionally insecure children of the neighborhood and raise nutritious, locally grown vegetables and herbs for the neighbors. We have around 20 volunteers, and counting, and multiple partnerships with non-profit and local government advisors. Not only do we have members who have completed the Master Gardener program in Pulaski County but we have retired and active nurses, engineers, lawyers, volunteer coordinators, and administrators. We love participating in community events and always encourage community members to join us as volunteers. We would love to see you get involved with us!
