The Community Garden

The gardens are indispensable sources of food security for this community. They provide access to fresh, healthy, culturally appropriate produce, which can be prohibitively expensive or unavailable at grocery stores.

Individual Activities
There are two work day opportunities per month that individuals interested in volunteering in the garden can sign up for. These work days must reach a minimum of 4 participants to be confirmed. The Community Garden coordinator will confirm via email/app a week ahead of each workday opportunity.

Group Activities
Community garden work days are on-going volunteer opportunities for groups. Groups can schedule these opportunities directly with the Community Garden coordinator. Weekdays are preferred. The ideal group size for garden work days is between 4 and 15. Volunteers should be high school age or older.

Fiberworks Program

The Americana Fiberworks program is a women’s arts and educational group designed to support the positive integration of refugee and immigrant women into the Louisville community using a common interest in the fiber arts. Participants help one another develop confidence, skills, and resources necessary to identify and pursue goals for themselves and their families as they integrate to their new home in Louisville.

Hours of Operation:
