Jefferson Township Community Garden

The Jefferson Township Community Garden, located at 1615 Kimmel Lane in Dayton, Ohio, is a neighborhood resource established by Rebuilding Together Dayton to increase access to fresh, healthy food while fostering connection, education, and community well-being. Launched in 2024, the garden transformed a vacant lot into a welcoming green space where residents can grow fresh produce, enjoy the outdoors, and build relationships with their neighbors. Located in Jefferson Township, the garden helps address food insecurity by providing opportunities for individuals and families to grow their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

As the garden continues to grow, leadership is transitioning to a Jefferson Township Community Garden Advisory Board, a group of local residents committed to guiding the garden's future and ensuring it remains a sustainable, community-led space. The advisory board coordinates garden activities, supports participating gardeners, and encourages neighborhood involvement and stewardship.

Today, the Jefferson Township Community Garden serves as a shared community space where neighbors can grow healthy food, enjoy nature, and strengthen the connections that make Jefferson Township a thriving place to live.
