Community Garden
More Than a Garden
The Midtown Community Garden is a shared space where neighbors can grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs while helping make Midtown greener.
The garden, located at N. 4th Street & Peffer Street, was established in 2024. Friends of Midtown began operating and maintaining the garden in 2026 to ensure it continues to thrive for the community.
​
The garden is part of a Capital Region Water green stormwater project that helps capture rainwater before it reaches the sewer system. The site was designed to improve water quality while creating a beautiful community space for Midtown residents to enjoy.
​
The Harrisburg Community Gardens are a cooperative effort involving the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority, Capitol Region Water, and Chesapeake Bay Trust.
