Community Garden: Growing Together

Community · 5 min read

Forty raised beds, one greenhouse wall, and a strict rule that nobody gardens alone on Saturdays. The rooftop garden is Marlowe Point’s happiest square footage — and it runs on neighbors, not staff.

How the Plots Work

Residents claim a half or full bed each March through the portal; soil, compost, water, and tools are included. First-timers are paired with a garden mentor for the season, and the shared herb spiral belongs to everyone — snip what you need for dinner.

Learn Something Green

Monthly workshops cover container tomatoes, pollinator planting, composting in small spaces, and fall garlic. Kids get their own low bed and a summer sunflower contest with genuinely fierce competition.

From Soil to Table

Surplus harvest goes to the lobby share shelf every Sunday, and the season closes with the rooftop harvest dinner in the event lounge — long tables, string lights, and a menu built from what we grew.
