Community gardening in the heart of downtown Minneapolis
WELCOME
Welcome to the Gethsemane Community Garden Website!
The Gethsemane Community Garden (GCG), is a small but mighty green oasis in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. We have 22 private garden plots, a community garden, affectionately known as “The Giving Garden” and a beautifully landscaped community area complete with a pergola, picnic tables and plenty of colorful flowers, plants, and friendly pollinators for your enjoyment! We hope you enjoy our beautiful space as much as we do!
Happy Gardening!
We want to hear from YOU!
Help us continue to grow! (pun most definitely intended!)
