The Giving Garden is having an open house on October 16th at the Green Corner to kick off the Lifetime Founding Members Campaign.

Who We Are
The Giving Garden is a newly established, non-profit organization located at 6523 Tyne Avenue, Kennedy Heights, Cincinnati, just a half block south of the Kennedy Heights Arts Center. We are in the process of reclaiming this parcel of land and we have ambitious plans to transform it into a beautiful garden with themed raised beds. Once the beds are installed, we will begin to offer a series of educational gardening classes.

For many years, the piece of wasteland at 6523 Tyne Avenue has been poorly used and has underserved the community. Today it is a vacant lot, strewn with litter and heavy construction rubble.

On February 1st 2009, three Kennedy Heights residents assembled and founded the Giving Garden. They shared a common vision of creating a natural setting within an urban environment that provides gardening, mentoring, and education in a tranquil atmosphere..

Martin Wagner, BJ Gardner, and Eric Bertelsen are the incorporating members and founding Board Members of the Giving Garden.
