The City of Monroe community garden is located at Pilot Park at 515 East Church Street which is a little over .25 miles east of downtown Monroe.  

What is a community garden?

A community garden is a piece of land gardened by a group of people for the production of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. In 2020, the City of Monroe began a local pilot project with the Community Garden.

How do I join the Monroe Community Garden?

For this program there will be no rental fee. To join, you need only register with the city.  At registration, you will be responsible for a raised garden bed in Pilot Park (515 East Church Street) measuring 8 x 4 feet, shade-free and filled with a compost and soil mix. Each bed is ready to plant and comes with access to hoses for watering.  Gardeners will provide their own tools.  Beds will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.  Once approved and given your garden bed number, just choose your favorite seeds, do the tending, and enjoy your harvest!

Please print the Monroe Community Garden Registration Form and return the form to City Hall (215 N. Broad Street) or you can email the completed form to sshropshire@monroega.gov
