Risdale Park in Lansing, MI is home to the Risdale Garden, a public garden established in 1989. With over 40 plots available to the general public, this community space welcomes both townhome residents and members of the public to grow their own food. The garden boasts a rich cultural heritage, with over 50 percent of the gardeners being of Hmong descent, showcasing traditional seeds and techniques passed down through generations.
Supported by the Greater Lansing Food Bank, the Garden Project at Risdale Park not only provides access to plots but also offers resources such as seeds, plants, information, and expertise to support community gardens and low-income residential gardens. Additionally, the Food Movers program rescues perishable food and distributes it to shelters, community kitchens, senior housing, and other places in the Greater Lansing area where there is a need for food.
