Garden Committee | Shingle Creek Victory Council
Meets 1st Wednesday, 7–8pm

Garden committee

We're part of the City of Minneapolis Garden Lease Program — growing a shared space in Victory to build community, learn about gardening, improve the local ecosystem, and harvest real food.

About the garden

The community garden strives to provide space to build community, learn about gardening, improve our local ecosystem, and harvest food. It's located in the northwest corner of the Victory neighborhood, at 47th and Vincent Avenue North — and it's entirely run and powered by volunteers.

Grow your own food

$25 / year
Suggested annual donation for a raised bed
  • Apply for a raised bed to grow food for yourself
