Friends of Grand Meadow

We are Friends of Grand Meadow

In 2021, our neighborhood community noticed our city park, Grand Meadow Neighborhood Park, needed some love and attention – so we took matters into our own hands and adopted it! We’re passionate about creating a community garden, food forest, and gathering spaces for everyone to enjoy. Come join us and be a part of our exciting vision!

Our mission is to create a park that serves all in the community and provides a close connection to plants and produce.

Grand Meadow Food Forest and Community Garden

After construction of the initial phase of the park is complete (see concept plan page), Friends of Grand Meadow volunteers will begin planting and building our neighborhood’s new urban agriculture hub! See the plans of the full vision of the food forest and community garden.
In year one we will begin with a small area of the food forest from this design and will build key areas in the community garden.
