Some of the oldest Brown County Community Gardens have been active since the very beginning. For example, the garden on Maple and Augusta (1998) is one of the program’s original gardens and continues to thrive. Located in the heart of downtown Green Bay, Maple and Augusta garden is located on the property of Green Bay Plastics—a local company. Nestled in a downtown neighborhood, this garden is a great example of urban gardening. The garden is tended to by multiple different cultural backgrounds and grows a variety of different foods.
On Saturday August 3rd, 2024, New Leaf Foods and Brown County Community Gardens will be hosting a garden tour in which the Maple and Augusta garden will be showcased from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Community members are invited to arrive at their own pace and join an ongoing tour of thegarden; information regarding the Brown County Community Gardens Program will also be provided.
