The Merrill Community Sharing Garden was created to transform a vacant lot into a vibrant green space that brings people together. Our goals are simple but powerful:

  • Beautify our community.
  • Engage neighbors and foster connection.
  • Provide fresh vegetables for anyone who needs them.
  • Showcase positive change in the Merrill Neighborhood.

Located on the 1300 block of Porter Avenue, the garden spans three residential lots forming an L-shape. It’s a space for everyone—neighbors, volunteers, and visitors alike.


How It Works

  • Take what you need and leave the rest for others to share.
  • Stay on the paths to protect the plants.
  • Respect all forms of life—plants, animals, and people.
