About the Rotary Community Garden

The Rotary Club of Sedona Village is in the fourth year of growing in the garden. Since we started the garden, we've built 23 raised beds, spread wood chips on many of the walkways and contributed over 1,500 pounds of vegetables to the Sedona Community Food Bank and Sedona Oak Creek Unified School District.
 
Master Gardener and Club member, Jane Peck, has shared her vision for the Community Garden as a place where everyone in the community can gather to learn and enjoy gardening to produce healthy, organic food. She has energized the programming of the space and initiated the monthly public Open House events.
 
The Community Garden is located at Big Park Community School on the baseball diamond on the north playground. This diamond, known as Doug Colletti’s Field of Dreams, is now a Field of Greens. Working with our location partner, the Sedona Oak-Creek Unified School District, we have created an opportunity to provide a community service that strengthens health, nature, life skills, and creates an atmosphere of cooperation and togetherness.
 
Garden Beds can be leased for $225 for the year, from April through March of the following year. There are currently Garden Beds available for lease now. Being a Garden Bed tenant gives you access to the garden area, and use of the compost pile, all year, at any time. 
Richardson Wright said, “a garden is a public service and having one a public duty. It is a man’s contribution to the community.” The Rotary Club of Sedona Village is committed to an ongoing contribution to the community through this garden project.
Details, garden bed adoption details, project descriptions, volunteer project dates, and more are available. We welcome your enthusiasm and participation with this project. To find out more, click here.
