WSWCA Community Gardens

WSWCA administers three community gardens, which are overseen by our Greening Committee.

  • Sartain Garden at 1114-1118 Locust Street
  • South Street Garden at 831-839 South Street
  • Waverly Garden at 1127-1131 Waverly Street

If your primary residence is in Washington Square West (the neighborhood bounded by Market, Broad, South and 7th Streets), you are eligible for membership in any WSWCA Community Garden.

All garden members are required to read and adhere to WSWCA Community Garden Rules.
