“When
I think of projects in Madison that I am most proud of and I think
deserve
recognition for innovation on a national scale, I think first of
Troy Gardens.”
Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, City of Madison
Welcome to Troy Gardens, a unique development integrating people and nature in Madison, Wisconsin.
On 31-acres of urban property, Troy Gardens integrates mixed-income green-built housing, community gardens, an organic farm, and restored prairie and woodlands.
The Friends of Troy Gardens, in partnership with the Madison Area Community Land Trust and the Urban Open Space Foundation, is dedicated to developing, managing and stewarding Troy Gardens.
Troy Gardens’ environmental education programs include a nationally recognized leadership program for teenagers, an award-winning children’s garden, and an innovative partnership with the University of Wisconsin.
Neighbors care for 330 family garden plots in the Community Gardens. Volunteer Stewards restore and maintain native tall grass prairie and maple woodlands in the natural areas. Over 100 households pick up weekly bags of fresh organic vegetables from the Community Farm. Proud homeowners have recently purchased 30 green-built townhomes built around common courtyards.
Troy Gardens is open to the public and hosts an interpretive trail. Please visit, learn and enjoy!
