Craving the feeling of getting your hands into the dirt? Enjoy watching as seedlings poke their heads out of soil with the promise of sunshine, water & growth? Want nourishing produce and abundant flowers for your family to enjoy?

Look no further. You can have your own little piece of paradise without the upkeep and cost of a lawn or a large planting area at your home. Join the Vilano Community Garden. In one season, your garden crop will pay for itself.

This convenient community garden on Gardner Street, adjoining the Vilano Recreation Area, offers dozens of 4' x 10' raised beds complete with soil and water access. Gardeners often share their abundant crops and help with care while fellow gardeners are away.

Beds are currently available in time for the spring planting season! The donation is $60/year for North Shores Improvement Association members and $120/year for non-members. Contact Garden Director Jean Miller, at jeanst.johns@gmail.com for information.
