Welcome to the Woodfield Community Garden!
Launched in 2025, the Woodfield Community Garden is a vibrant growing space at Woodfield Apartments in Kentwood, MI, bringing residents of all ages and backgrounds together to grow food and community.
Mission
The Woodfield Community Garden is a beautiful community green space where neighbors grow organic, fresh food; build community pride and strength through neighborhood and educational events; and learn from each other by growing together.
Vision
We believe everyone should have access to healthy, fresh food. The Woodfield Community Garden provides the space, tools, and learning opportunities to grow food, flowers, and herbs; centers and celebrates our diverse community across ages, backgrounds, and cultures; gives opportunities to work in companionship with nature and each other; and above all supports physical, mental, and community health.
