The Summit Neighborhood Community Garden is located in Kerry Kohring Park, at the corner of Summit Ave. and 9th St. in Providence, RI.
Our garden is managed and maintained by a group of members who aim to spread their love and knowledge of gardening, grow healthy food, and create community. We support and expand gardening opportunities in the Summit Neighborhood by providing a shared space where neighbors can engage with the garden and each other.
It is our vision for the garden to be a dynamic, nurturing, and beautiful place for the whole community. In addition to growing plants, garden members provide resources and activities to promote environmentally responsible urban agriculture practices, as well as environmental education programs for both children and adults. Our garden is part of a movement of small growers who collectively create a greener, more sustainable community.
The Community Garden is run as a committee of the Summit Neighborhood Association, and it functions in partnership with the Providence Department of Parks and Recreation, the Partnership for Providence Parks, and Miriam Hospital, which provided seed funding to build the garden.
