The Longer View
While plans for the future of the Summerhill Community Garden are in action, all good things take time!
The Summerhill Community Garden at 440 Connally Street dates back to 2015 and over the years has taken different forms. With the help of our neighbors and partners, the SNDC and Summerhill Community Garden steering committee are developing plans for a renewed space.
Current phases and ideas include grounds cleanup and soil preparation; creating new plots for our community, donation plots to serve those in need, and demonstration plots for experimentation and education; and building up areas around the beds with all kinds of other inclusive community spaces for gathering, growing, teaching, and learning.
