Our story
​
It is not just about gardening, but also about cultivating new friendships with other people and with nature.
In Spring 2014, discussion about the community garden concept grew out of the Jamestown/Valley City Community Leadership program. A few individuals who had been a part of that program laid the groundwork for developing what is now the Jamestown Community Gardens.
​
In the spring of 2015, we were able to connect a willing land-owner with the excited leadership. A unique partnership was formed between Jamestown Community Gardens and Temple Baptist Church. We broke ground for our first growing season and 12 plots were rented.
​
We are now in our ninth season and in a better position to continue to expand our outreach into the community.
