The Community Garden Mission
Our vision for the garden is shared by community partners and sponsors:
• Tree Hill Nature Center
7152 Lone Star Rd.
Jacksonville, FL 32211
Tree Hill has made the garden location available on the grounds of their amphitheater. Tree Hill supports the garden operations with many "in-kind" donations, as well as providing water, volunteers, and leadership. Tree Hill is the primary garden partner.
• UUCJ - Unitarian Universalist Church of Jacksonville
7405 Arlington Expressway
Jacksonville, FL 32211
UUCJ is the principle sponsor of the garden supporting it by providing management and funding. Arlington Community Garden is an outreach effort of the church through its Green Sanctuary Program, the garden being its ongoing environmental justice project. Volunteers from the church manage the garden and the church generously supports the garden financially each year.
• Jacksonville University

policy, production practices and market forces so that they ensure equity, sustainability and pleasure in the food we eat. We are honored to be recognized
