ViNA has been approved to participate in the City of Minneapolis Garden Lease Program, which creates another community engagement opportunity by building a community garden in Victory. 2023 will be our 4th growing season!
About the Community Garden
The ViNA Community Garden strives to provide space to build community, learn about gardening, improve our local ecosystem, and harvest food.
It is located in the northwest corner of the Victory Neighborhood at 47th and Vincent Avenue North.
The ViNA Community Garden is run & powered by volunteers, see below for opportunities to get involved!

Suggested Annual donation of $25
- 18 raised beds available, each about 4′ x 16′
- Donation offsets the cost of water, maintenance, soil & tools
- Priority is given to residents without land to plant & grow food (i.e. apartment residents, renters)

Work Day Events
Time Commitment:
1-2 hours per work day/event
Monthly events including a planting event in the spring, a harvest celebration in the fall, and other work days to prepare beds, spread wood chips, and small construction projects, etc.
Community Beds
Time Commitment:
1-2 hours per week
Several community beds have produce that is shared among the volunteers, neighbors, and/or donated to a local food bank. This involves planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting as the season progresses; working with other volunteers to share the responsibility.
Garden Committee
Time Commitment:
3-5 hours per month
There is a small group that helps organize the garden. We meet monthly, manage city permits, plan events, send out communication, and coordinate a vision for the garden. If you have ideas for events, garden-related knowledge you want to share with others, or experience with grants, let us know!
