It’s our 15th anniversary this year!

We have memberships available, so contact us ASAP to get started! To learn more, please visit the Membership tab.

The GLEE Community Garden exists to teach members of our community to grow healthy organic food in our subtropical climate. There are two types of memberships. Gardeners can rent an individual plot and grow food for their personal use or join as communal members and work with a group to cultivate food to be shared with other gardeners.

Education is our primary mission and we seek ways to connect with our community. We partner with Monroe County Schools, May Sands Montessori School, and the MARC House. We sponsor free informative talks and workshops on topics like propagating plants, attracting pollinators, and composting.

Our growing season is from October 1-September 30. Communal memberships are always available. A few individual plots become available each year. For information about becoming a member of the garden, please see the Membership tab.

Mission and Vision

The mission of the GLEE Key West Community Garden is to provide Key West residents as well as Monroe County School District students and employees with a safe and organized environment to teach and learn to grow healthy organic food (greens, herbs, fruits and vegetables).

The vision of the GLEE Key West Community Garden is to develop individual plots, common areas, a food forest, rain-harvesting and composting systems that demonstrate environmental stewardship, sustainability, water conservation, resource management, historical relevance, and healthy food cultivation on and off site.
