Community Gardens

We actively partner with the City of Ranson to offer a Community Garden to the people of our aera. The community garden in Ranson provides those individuals and families who do not have adequate land, an opportunity to raise a garden for a nominal fee. Space is rented for the “growing season” on a per foot basis assuming a uniform 10ft. width. If you would like to participate , the application for garden space can be printed and returned to the address on the form.
