The Davidson Community Garden was established by Davidson United Methodist Church and continues to thrive as an outreach ministry of the church, for the use and enjoyment of the entire town. It is not divided into parcels to be rented out to individuals. Rather, in the spirit of Davidson as “one big family”, it is one big garden tended by volunteers from every corner of town. The garden was requested by the Davidson Clergy Association, who wanted an ongoing project that would bring together people of all different neighborhoods and groups. The community garden is envisioned as a gathering place to enjoy new friends, learn new skills, and grow healthy food. The garden is located at the corner of Potts Street and Catawba Avenue. The central mission of the garden and its gardeners is to produce fresh produce for the food pantry at the Ada Jenkins Center.
