The NEYFS Creativity Project community garden is a space meant for increased food security, multicultural engagement, youth empowerment, and community-building. We are located in the Chief Gary Park Neighborhood, which is classified as a food desert.
Our site has eight raised beds, a greenhouse in development, and a community lawn where we host an annual block party and a market event in the autumn and the spring. We host community partners at our events and are open to more partnerships!
We put all produce grown and some donated non-perishables into our Little Free Pantry that was donated through our partnership with Growing Neighbors on the corner of E. Mission Avenue and N. Magnolia Street. It is available for community members to use at any time.
Address: 1831 E Mission Ave, Spokane, WA, 99202
Want to get involved in volunteering? Email info@neyfs.org to ask about the garden's seasonal hours!
We hope to educate community members around health and nutrition, growing your own food, and sustainability practices. We seek to learn from our neighbors about their heritage or cultural experience in gardening and nutrition.
Food Security
Our goal is to increase the availability of healthy foods in the Chief Gary Park Neighborhood. We are expanding opportunities for open garden hours, volunteering, a greenhouse, and student field trips.
Building Community
Our vision is to build community through fostering inclusivity and collaboration. To achieve this, we envision vibrant multicultural events, space rentals, resource tabling, and seasonal markets on our community lawn.
