The Land Bank's Garden Program encourages and supports community-based beautification and gardening projects on the Land Bank vacant lots. The Garden Program is currently supporting more than 100 gardens throughout the City of Lansing, amounting to more than four acres of garden space in the city. Projects include small household gardens, community gardens involving several families and larger-scale urban farming efforts.
If you are interested in starting a neighborhood beautification project or need extra space to grow your own food, please contact the Garden Coordinator Cody Mohr at 517.267.5221 ext 2386 or cmohr@ingham.org. In exchange for a low annual fee and general care of the property, neighbors are provided space in order to beautify their neighborhood. The Garden Program also provides soil tests, tilling, compost and plant starts to support community efforts.
The Land Bank’s Garden Program is committed to providing land to make neighborhood beautification and gardening dreams a reality for our community.
