Wexner Heritage Rooftop Garden

Located: 1151 College Ave, Columbus, OH 43209

The Wexner Heritage Rooftop Garden sits atop Wexner Heritage Village, one of our service partner agencies. We harvest food here and share it with the patients and staff who spend their days in the building, bringing just-picked produce to a community that has cared for Columbus seniors for more than 75 years. We also grow cut flowers on the roof, and bud vases from the garden go to patients' rooms throughout the season.

Once a month, we donate a harvest from the roof to Jewish Family Services, so the garden feeds the neighborhood as well as the people below it. It is a different kind of GDC site, smaller and higher up, but it does the same thing every garden in our network does: grow food close to the people who will eat it.
