Hunter Park GardenHouse
Year-round farm and gardening education center on Lansing's Eastside. We are open 5 days a week, and offer a wide assortment of programs.
The Hunter Park GardenHouse, a project of Allen Neighborhood Center, serves as a demonstration site and hub for year-round garden education, where neighbors volunteer to grow food, flowers, and community, and youth develop job and life skills in service to the neighborhood. Since 2008, the Hunter Park GardenHouse has empowered neighbors to grow, prepare, and eat healthy food to better their health

We are currently in need of cardboard to enhance the health and vitality of our garden. Cardboard plays a crucial role in suppressing weeds
How You Can Contribute:
Cardboard: Unwanted cardboard boxes, packaging materials, or flattened cardboard are all greatly appreciated.
***Drop off near compost bins, near the front of the GardenHouse gate.***
Drop-off Location:
Hunter Park GardenHouse
500 Clifford St

Your support in providing cardboard will directly contribute to the growth and prosperity of our garden, benefiting everyone in the community.
Let's come together to nurture our garden and create a flourishing green space for all to enjoy. Thank you for being a part of the Hunter Park GardenHouse community!
Join us at Hunter Park GardenHouse for our Open House on May 11th!
Get ready for an afternoon filled with fun activities! We'll be hosting a seed bomb activity where you can create your own little pockets of nature, an information booth to learn all about what we do at the GardenHouse, and a pop-up plant sale featuring a variety of beautiful plants to enhance your garden.
Bring your friends and family for an enjoyable day surrounded by community.
