The Hunter Park GardenHouse, a project of Allen Neighborhood Center, serves as a demonstration site and hub for year-round garden education, where neighbors volunteer to grow food, flowers, and community, and youth develop job and life skills in service to the neighborhood. Since 2008, the Hunter Park GardenHouse has empowered neighbors to grow, prepare, and eat healthy food to better their health

and become better connected with the community. Our current programs include:

Garden Education Workshops & Services
Gardening Workshops- a full menu of year-round gardening workshop options. Urban Gardener Certification Course, a multi-session course teaching a variety of skills including planting food crops, designing home gardens, seed starting, composting, and soil science. GardenHouse Products
In effort to become financially sustainable, we are expanding our selection of products and services for sale, in which money raised will benefit our charitable programs, allowing us to provide services and programs for neighbors who can’t afford to pay. Our main annual fundraiser include a spring plant sale of vegetable and herb starts, a fall native plant sale, and regular produce sales through the Allen Neighborhood Center’s Veggie Box program. Growing Food
We grow and sell produce through a Multi-Season, multi-grower CSA- The Allen Neighborhood a Center Veggie Box. Youth Programs
Take Root Garden Club- a youth program for ages 5-10, focusing on nutrition and fitness education through gardening. Youth Service Corps- a job and life skills training program for youth ages 11-17, in which youth participate in service-learning projects focusing on food access: Garden-in-a-Box, Edible Park, Park Cart, and Fruit Tree Project.

We are back, like we never left!

That’s right—The GardenHouse is blooming once again, and we’re SO excited to reconnect with our amazing community. We’re bringing our social media back to life so we can keep you in the loop with educational content, behind-the-scenes goodness, and everything happening right here at The GardenHouse.

There’s a fresh breeze blowing through—The GardenHouse is under new management! Some of y’all might already know me, Hillary Coleman, from 1991Greenery Homestead, and my partner-in-plants, Nate Kermiet, from Magnolia Avenue Farm. Together, we’re ready to grow something truly special.

We can’t wait to share what we’ve been dreaming up. Let’s dig in, learn, and grow together 🌱

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
