West Side community garden license

Saint Paul file RES 26-1025, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-07-01.

Latest action: Passed

What it does

West Side residents can grow food in a city garden. West Side Community Organization can now operate a community garden on city park land, giving nearby residents a place to grow vegetables and connect with neighbors.

The bigger picture

More green space and local food access on the west side. Community gardens improve air quality, reduce food costs for low-income families, and build neighborhood bonds through shared gardening work.

What to watch

Garden success depends on the group's resources and support. If West Side Community Organization lacks funding, volunteers, or expertise, the garden may not thrive or serve residents as intended.
