about the garden

Our goal is to foster a healthy environment where anyone can learn to grow their own food and participate in community through gardening. We also work to promote biodiversity & habitat creation by encouraging nature-friendly practices and build habitats for pollinators and other wildlife.

Stewardship of the land

The Millwood Community Garden is located at 3800 North Argonne, which is owned by Inland Empire Paper. They have graciously given us stewardship of the land and have done so for many years. Our plan is to utilize best practices of permaculture to stack functions and promote a healthy ecosystem. Mary Bishop, a Permaculture Consultant has been extremely helpful in creating a plan that is realistic and attainable. You can see that plan here.

History

We are not the first and will not be the last to cultivate this land. There were native tribes, including the Spokane and likely many others that inhabited these lands and for generations, a farmer grew pumpkins on the land, which is why the garden was called “The Pumpkin Patch Community Garden” for many years. We hope to honor those who went before and we hope that you would join us in writing this next chapter!

Community Building

We encourage the community to participate in the garden by hosting educational events, supporting gardening grants and a committee for ongoing planning. We focus on building relationships with our neighbors and other local gardening organization like Master Gardeners, Mission Meadows Community Garden, Growing Neighbors and The WSU Extension.

Help with a variety of different aspects of the garden that will help the garden flourish and feed people for years to come.

Currently (as of 4/28/26), we are preparing the garden for the growing season, which means we are moving wood chips to suppress weeds, putting panels on the greenhouse, stirring compost and building garden beds. If any of these opportunities sound interesting to you, please reach out and we will get you plugged in!
