East Grand Forks Parks & Recreation

From City Plot to Garden Spot

Originally created by Eagle Scout Chris Rieth in tandem with Christ the King Free Lutheran Church, the East Grand Forks Community Garden started with the intention to give residents without garden space a place to grow fresh vegetables for summer meals. Since then, the garden has grown into a place of connection where people of all ages come to enjoy fresh air, get a little exercise, and unwind after a long day. Beyond personal harvests, many gardeners generously give back—donating produce each year to the local food shelf. From colorful flowers to homegrown vegetables, the garden offers beauty, nourishment, and a sense of pride in supporting both the land and the community.
