The Garden District began as a backyard garden in a Columbus neighborhood, initially producing an abundance of food for a two-person household. The first year saw 700 pounds of donations, prompting its growth into a thriving volunteer community garden program. Now comprising 8 different garden locations, we supplement food pantries and local communities with sustainably grown and harvested produce. Our mission is to nourish our community, foster a deeper connection with nature, and combat food insecurity. As an LGBTQAI+-led 501(c)3 organization, The Garden District proudly serves as a safe space for all.
Your donation today can help us continue our mission of nourishing communities, fostering sustainability, and combating food insecurity. Join us in making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
We are a collection of residential, community, and giving gardens and farms with 10 unique locations.

is located at 1511 College Avenue Columbus, OH 43209. The Garden District originally produced cut flowers and donated them to the residents of WHV. The partnership has expanded to the restoration of a rooftop garden that produces food for the residents, family, and staff of WHV. It is often the connection for many residents to nature as it is easily accessible. Once a month, the produce is donated to Jewish Family Services to First Americans, Holocaust survivors, and people experiencing food -insecurity.

This involves killing the grass with cardboard and compost to create a no-mow environment with clover.
