Nokomis Community Garden
Overview
Community gardens provide a place for individuals to raise vegetables, fruits and herbs, even if there is not enough space or soil nearby your home. Gardeners can improve their families’ health and nutrition while reducing food costs. Community gardens also benefit the neighborhoods where they are located by utilizing open space and promoting a sense of community pride.
This garden opened in 2001, due to collaborative efforts of UF/IFAS Extension, Master Gardener volunteers, and Sarasota County Parks. This highly successful vegetable garden has 22 plots and is located just off the Legacy Trail with a playground nearby.
For information about obtaining a plot, contact Stacy Spriggs, Community and School Gardens Coordinator, 941-861-9815 or sspriggs@scgov.net.

My name is David Wilkie, and am a recent arriving new resident to the area. I was a member of the Land O' Lakes, WI Community Garden, and loved growing my veggies organically. The comradery of my fellow gardeners was one of my favorite . Iparts of the garden. I would love to have a plot in the garden, to continue my passion. If there is one available, I would love to have it. If not, could I please be placed on a waiting list.I am an avid gardener, who WILL keep his garden in order, and free of weeds.
Thank you, and HAPPY Gardening!!!
