Welcome to the Community Garden @ Snellville!

In addition to its primary purpose of providing space for families to grow flowers, food for their own consumption and to donate to local charities, the Community Garden @ Snellville also adds a new dimension to Snellville’s sense of community.

The Garden, is located in T. W. Briscoe Park, on the corner of Marigold Road and Sawyer Parkway. Currently the garden includes 52 raised beds, a pavilion, beehives, a greenhouse, tool shed and a large perennial garden.

When a group of volunteers announced plans for a community garden, the phrase,
“if you build it they will come” seemed very appropriate.

The Community Garden @ Snellville was built, and is maintained, by an all-volunteer group that includes individuals, civic groups and local businesses. We’re proud of our volunteer committee, which has included landscape architects, master gardeners, an architect, a marketing professional, three city councilmen, a CPA, several business owners and a myriad of others who are bringing their collective expertise and commitment to ensure the quality and continuity of the garden.

“Rooted in Community,

 Blooming with Life”

The Community Garden @ Snellville is truly Rooted in the Community and Blooming with Life. Built on the values of connection, collaboration, and sustainability, the garden serves as a shared space where residents of all ages and backgrounds come together to cultivate fresh produce, colorful blooms, and meaningful relationships. It’s more than just soil and seeds—it’s a reflection of the strength and diversity of our community, where each contribution helps the garden thrive. Here, we celebrate growth in all its forms, from the vegetables that nourish our tables to the friendships that blossom among gardeners. Together, we’re planting the seeds for a healthier, more connected Snellville, where life flourishes in every corner of our garden.
