For an annual fee of $20.00 they are assigned approximately 100 square feet of garden space and are provided with plants and seeds. Fertilizer and water are also provided. In addition to tending their own garden they must work at least two "work days"(4 hours each) per month on food pantry rows and general gardening.

a little history

The Community Garden was started in 2002 as a joint project between McMinnville Salvation Army and a group of community volunteers. The vision was to help families in need grow their own food, to provide fresh produce for the food pantry boxes and to help families learn new self-sufficiency skills. Over the years the garden has evolved into a partnered venture with the Yamhill County Master Gardeners Association to further enhance the learning opportunities for all garden volunteers. It has also become self-supporting by selling herbs, flowers and other plants grown at the garden .
