Learn about the formation of the Community Commons gardens and the All Volunteer Green Team who is cultivating the garden spaces in the Ann Arbor Community Commons!
If you would like to join the All Volunteer Green Team or arrange for a tour of the garden, please fill out an application.
The All Volunteer Green team has been hard at work improving the health of the Garden and creating a welcoming and safe shared social space.
You can help TODAY by volunteering to help with the upkeep tasks of the gardens.
The All Volunteer Green team has been hard at work since Spring 2021!
The Spring 2021 garden was planted entirely with gifted plants and seeds from local volunteers!
Local Ann Abor citizens donated their time for garden maintenance all through the summer and into the fall.
Guided Tours of the Community Garden are open to the public, and attracting the attention of locals like 5th Ward CM Erica Briggs!
Master Gardener Joet Reoma joined the All-Vollunteer Garden Committe and lended his time and skills to the removal of the poison ivy in the public garden!
Sustainability in the A2C2 garden is developing with the input from Dr. Missy Stultz! She has agreed to work with us to incorporate features in our gardens that support sustainability in Ann Arbor.
Sustainability is a main initiative for the Ann Arbor Community Commons. COMMENTS OR ELABORATION HERE??
Reducing runoff helps to keep water in the soil and keep it out of the city water system.
Composting and mulching help with the health of the plant as well as reducing maintenance like fertilizing and weeding.
A mix of wild flowers and long bloomers attract and nurture Bees. With the added bonus of added oxygen production.
The Green Team has begun reaching out to local Master Gardeners and Nurseries to begin plans for a fall planting that will give the gardens an amazing Spring Garden Bloom.
The Community Garden is a great opportunity to provide in person educational resources for topics such as gardening, rain water management, composting…
There are a variety of areas available for gardening in the Commons space, which we hope to invite members of the community to coordinate and cultivate.
