HERITAGE PARK GARDENS

ABOUT THE GARDENS

Since 2011, Heritage Park Gardens, a Main Street Gardnerville project has been a cornerstone of our community, offering a vibrant and welcoming 1.5-acre space to learn, grow, share, and connect. What started as a generous community donation and a few hay bales has blossomed into a thriving community garden, thanks to the dedication of volunteers and the support of individuals like you. Today, Heritage Park Gardens features 26 constructed garden beds rented by community members each season to grow their crops, a serene walking labyrinth, a large-scale chess and checkers board, a recognition wall honoring impactful volunteers, and a children’s garden where young gardeners explore nature and develop a love for planting and growing. But our journey is far from over—and we need your help to take the next step.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

To continue serving our community and nurturing the next generation of gardeners, we aim to raise $75,000. These funds will enable us to:

  1. Install Raised Garden Beds: Enhancing accessibility and increasing planting capacity.
  2. Upgrade Perimeter Fencing: Ensuring safety and protecting the garden’s beauty.
  3. Add Electricity for Lighting and Other Needs: Supporting evening events and necessary garden functions.
  4. Improve Irrigation: Maximizing water efficiency and promoting sustainability.
  5. Expand the Children’s Garden: Creating more opportunities for young gardeners through the Junior Master Gardeners program, run by the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) AG Extension Office.

BE A PART OF OUR GROWTH

Your donation will have a lasting impact, not only on the physical space but also on the lives of the many individuals who find joy, education, and connection here. The children who learn in our garden today may become tomorrow’s environmental stewards, educators, or even agricultural leaders.

By contributing, you become a part of a community that believes in the power of nature to inspire, teach, and bring people together. Every dollar you give helps us grow closer to achieving our vision of an even more inclusive, educational, and sustainable garden space.
