FarmWorks Community Garden

Chicago FarmWorks is committed to making fresh produce more accessible to our neighbors. One way we carry out this commitment is through our Community Garden Program. This program offers Garfield Park and Humboldt Park residents a shared green space in which to grow food, flowers, and friendships with fellow garden members.

Community Garden Program Details:

  • The garden is located at 407 N. Albany Ave, Chicago, IL 60612.
  • Memberships are open to East Garfield Park and West Humboldt Park residents.
  • Annual membership fees are $10 per raised bed, with a maximum of 2 beds per household.
  • The community garden consists of 20 raised Vego Garden beds; the bed dimensions are approximately 3.5’ W x 5’ L x 17” H.
  • Monthly workdays occur from May to October. Participation is optional but encouraged to maintain the space.
  • Shared supplemental tools are available on site; water access is available via rain barrels and a community hose.
