Good Neighbors Garden

What is the Good Neighbors Garden?

The all organic garden is 1.75 acres of land provided by the Ferndale Public Schools at the corner of Republic and Leroy.  The garden serves Oak Park, Ferndale, Royal Oak Township and Pleasant Ridge.  At this time, the garden consists of 4 raised beds and a 20' x 20' garden.  With your help, the garden will continue to grow to include a large edible forest garden of perennial and annual plants, 25 raised bed gardens - which will be handicap accessible, a rainwater collection system and pond, a self-catering event venue with benches, a greenhouse and a reciprocal roof structure!
