We fund and support community gardening in Charlottesville, Virginia, Albemarle County and the surrounding communities.
The property dates back to the late 1800s and has a rich historical evolution from a private home, to a ministry to one of the first private schools in the area born out of the desegregation movement. The magnificent eight acre stone-walled, terraced garden now surrounds what has become the Monticello Area Community Action Agency, known as MACAA, which houses outreach programs such as Headstart, Hope House, CARES and Project Discovery High School.
The Charlottesville Open Garden Project is pleased to announce the first ever Community Garden Bike Tour of Charlottesville!
