Community gardens can increase communication, cooperation and a sense of unity among participants.

Utilizing the calming effect of nature, Common Grounds, a new community garden serving Ocean County will serve to cultivate a sense of belonging and togetherness in a culturally diverse region.

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to join us as we develop the land so graciously donated by Lakewood Township into a place of beauty and belonging. To encourage community building, there are no private plots in the garden; all of the produce belongs to the community as a whole and will be grown collectively.

Our garden is open to the public every day during daylight hours. Visitors are welcome to harvest whatever produce is ready for picking by following signs posted. 

Common Grounds was built through the generous donations of local businesses and individuals. We are especially grateful to Brookstone Management for their sponsorship.

Let us know if you or your business would be interested in helping sustain this initiative.
