We had fun being part of the Seminole Heights Garden Tour on Sunday, October 25th. If you missed us, we’re usually in the garden Saturday mornings 9-11am.
It was a great day for the Seminole Heights Garden Tour

We thank you
Thank you to everyone who voted for us – this is the 3rd time in 4 years that we’ve received Readers’ Choice Best Community Garden!
We look forward to welcoming you to our garden again soon.
We’d be Honored
We’re in the Garden
If ever a peaceful sanctuary from the world was needed, the time is now. And those who have been regularly visiting our community garden know we have created just that place. All of the pictures shown above were shot at the garden within the past two weeks, and we put them together with the hopes they’ll share with you the peace of mind that can be found there. Like we said, it’s beautiful and thriving… come take part, to nurture the garden and nurture your heart and your soul.
(A warm thank you to Marc, our newsletter editor, for these wonderful words.)
Our Garden is closed to visitors for now
All –
In light of the current world situation and in front of any upcoming city or county shut-downs, we are closing Seminole Heights Community Gardens to all visitors.
What will this mean?
We will not open the garden on Saturdays for the foreseeable future. However, member gardeners will continue to tend the garden. If any visitors stop by we will kindly ask you to visit again in the future.
Our garden water lilies will continue to water the garden.
We will maintain the compost including community deposits which can be left in the buckets by the front gate.
We all think gardening is incredibly important in a time like this, but we’ll just have to do it separately for now. We look forward to seeing everyone again in the near future.
Even in summer we’re growing
The heat has been brutal – we’re at close to 150 days where the temperature hasn’t dipped below 70 degrees! Despite this we’ve had things growing all summer: okra, of course, and sweet potatoes. Here are a few more of the green things in our summer garden.
We are grateful
Our gardeners Cindy and Marc, along with resident photographer Ellen, joined the celebration as Seminole Heights Community Gardens won Readers’ Pick for best community garden. Thank you!
We’d be so very pleased if you voted for us!
Seminole Heights Community Garden is up for Best Community Garden again this year – PLEASE VOTE FOR US! 
The Garden is open for visitors and volunteers Saturdays 9am – 12pm at 6114 River Terrace. We’d love to show you why we think it’s the best little community garden.
These lovely people
Garden members Doris and Ellen hosted the Davis Islands Garden Club for a visit to our garden on April 19th. The Garden Club has been incredibly generous, helping us fund important improvements as we develop our space: our water stations and the new entrance to our garden (pictured above).
Doris writes:
It was an amazing morning! The weather was perfect … the garden looked beautiful. We had several members of the garden club show up … and they would also like to pop in on a Saturday morning to garden with us. I don’t know who had a better time … them or us!
Thank you Davis Islands Garden Club!
Join us for our April meeting at 7venth Sun
