The Marygrove Civic Commons finds its heart in the Indiana Street Garden, a versatile space that encompasses various elements:

• An elevated vegetable garden dedicated to teaching and learning.

• An orchard boasting a variety of fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry, plum, peach, and pawpaw.

• Two native plant gardens generously contributed by Garden for Wildlife.

• A location for hosting monthly Association meetings during the summer and early fall seasons.

• The venue for the Marygrove Community Association Makers and Farmers Market.

• A space for enjoyable and cost-free family movie nights.

During the summer of 2023, the Indiana Garden underwent renovations aimed at enhancing accessibility. These enhancements comprised the installation of two concrete service walks, a concrete base beneath the existing pavilion, and the addition of four new raised beds that are ADA-accessible. The Thriving Neighborhoods Fund, a collaborative effort

between Strategic Community Partners and the Gilbert Family Foundation provided crucial support for these improvements.
