Our Gardens
We take great pride in our four amazing gardens, which are paid for by annual plot fees and built and maintained using service hours.​

Mack Park Garden
Mack Park is a gardener's garden. Located at the top of Mack Park, the in-ground plots here are huge. The experience of Mack Park's gardeners is obvious, as their crops are unique, beautiful, and clearly bountiful. Plots are $50 for the season.

Splaine Park
​
Nestled within a little-known Central Salem ball field and playground, Splaine is a wonderful place to garden while the family plays or watches a game. This garden offers 4'x8' traditional-depth beds (12"), and 3.5'x5' beds at 34"deep easy access. It's home to our cooperative effort with Salem's Native Tree + Shrub Nursery, and features donation plots that educate our community + honor the Indigenous planting practices of the tribes on whose land we garden. Boxes are $25 or $45 depending on size.
