Community Garden
In 2000, the Range Master Gardeners in partnership with the MSU Extension and UW Extension services, the City of Ironwood , GO-CAA, and a grant received from Michigan FIA's Community Food and Nutrition program, started developing a community garden for use by the general public. Very year the garden produces an abundance of vegetables in spite of the wet cold season.

Community Garden
In 2000, the Range Master Gardeners in partnership with the MSU Extension and UW Extension, the City of Ironwood, the Gogebic /Ontonagan Community Action, and a grant received from Michigan FIA's Community Food and Nutrition program, started developing a community garden for use by the general public. This year the garden produced an abundance of vegetables in spite of the wet cold season.
Because of deer and other animals, the garden is fenced in. Each year the whole garden is tilled and then the area is plotted out and marked into 29 garden plots that are 10X20 feet. The City of Ironwood supplied the land and drilled a well for water there . A Gogebic County Corrections crew has been helping over the years with the tilling.
The plots are rented out at $25.00 each. Those who have assistance cards of any sort are given the plots for free.
We have an orientation meeting for new gardeners and try to make their garden experience a pleasant one.
