Wausau Urban Community Gardens

Wausau Urban Community Gardens currently has three locations.

1. Emerging Gardens: located at the corner of N 2nd St and DeKalb St

This garden is our biggest project to date, and is a collaborative project with the Emerging Leaders group from United Way of Marathon County. Construction of 35 raised beds took place in mid June, 2013. A HUGE THANK YOU to all the volunteers that helped out - we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you! Each bed is 12ft x 12ft, providing ample growing space for our gardeners.

2. East Towne Community Garden: Jefferson St

East Towne Community Garden, on Wausau's east side, was constructed on June 12, 2012 and covers an area of 60ft x 115ft which allows for the building of 14 raised beds. A 6ft fence is erected around the perimeter of the garden to help with critter control. A medium size shed is on site for the safe keeping of the garden tools and supplies. Out of the 14 raised beds, four are reserved as community plots where harvest will be donated to the Neighbor's Place and Marathon County Hunger Coalition. All ten plots have been rented out to community members who are already planting and growing their own fruits and vegetables.

3. Bridge Clinic Community Garden

This garden is our newest addition, and adds an additional 17 beds to the program's scope. With vertical gardening, wheelchair accessible walkways, and decorative flags, this garden aims to be an open, inviting space for all community members to enjoy!
