Inver Hills Community Garden & Orchard

Inver Hills Community Garden & Orchard We are uniting people through hands-on education and fostering healthy, sustainable communities.

Founded by August Hoffman & Barb Curchack in 2012, our garden is an interdisciplinary, cooperative effort among Metro State University, Inver Hills Community College & community members. We have a large communal garden, 40 individual plots and an apple orchard. All are located behind (east of) Heritage Hall and the Business Building of the IHCC Campus. Our grounds are pesticide free, and while not

completely organic, we do support organic gardening practices. All produce from the communal garden and orchard is donated to food shelves and non-profit organizations. The Garden Committee welcomes all community members to participate in all activities in the communal garden and orchard. Individuals can apply for one 10’ X 10’ individual plot in our pesticide-free garden for the entire growing season. There is also a 50 seat outdoor classroom used for classes, visiting speakers and concerts.

We want to hear from YOU!

Our community garden has been closed for the past two years, and as we look toward the future, your voice matters more than ever.

We’re asking community members to take a few minutes to fill out our interest form and share:

- What you loved about the garden.
- What you’d like to see happen next.
- How the space could better serve our community.

Whether you participated before or are brand new, your input will help shape what comes next for the garden.

Thank you for helping us imagine the future of our community garden together!
