The IDAHO FALLS COMMUNITY GARDEN is about growing - growing flowers, growing vegetables and fruits, and growing a community of people who can share their love of gardening while taking good care of our small part of the earth. Fun and learning is the emphasis and successful organic gardening is the objective. As a Community Garden member you have the use of one garden plot along with a shared responsibility for the total site.

GARDENING MINI-CLASSES will be scheduled periodically throughout the winter and spring. These will be informal classes designed to respond to the gardening information needs of the members. We will be working with the County Extension Office to make information handouts and Master Gardener expertise available to garden members. Field trips may also be scheduled.

The SPROUTS program is designed especially to introduce children to the joys and challenges of growing a beautiful and productive organic garden.  Children learn the basics of good gardening and get to plan and plant their own 10'x3' garden as well as participating in special group projects.

THE GIVING GARDEN is a voluntary part of the Community Garden project which helps provide fresh produce for those in need. These plots are assigned, space available, on a first-come, first-served basis. Plot fees will be waived for Giving Garden plots in return for the gardener's donation of all food grown on that plot to local food banks, shelters, etc.
