Looking for a public garden? Check out the ones we have listed here.
These are the food gardens that we are currently aware of in the Wichita Area that are open to the public. Most offer plots for rent, and those that allow open picking prefer produce to go to families in need. Some places may be willing or able to help individuals start their own garden. If you want to volunteer, many of the gardens may be looking for help, or the Sedgwick County Extension office may know of volunteer opportunities. If you know of a garden, or contact information, that needs added or changed, PLEASE visit our Home page and fill out the Contact Form at the bottom.
