Downtown Greens

Fredericksburg's community greenspace

Did you catch us on npr?

Did you hear us on NPR's WVTF Music and RADIO IQ and on All Things Considered?

Writer/reporter Adele Uphaus did a great job capturing our wonderful Education staff Khalilah Brooker and Beth McClain with our preschool Garden Sprouts program.

 our 56-acre land expansion project

This 56-acre parcel of land – which had been slated for industrial development – contains living wetlands and mature trees, as well as some of the last farmland in Fredericksburg. Thanks to donors like you, this land will be preserved in perpetuity under the nurturing care of Downtown Greens.
We are so close to completely paying off this amazing land completely so that we may put it under easement but still need your help!

growing healthy youth

Our youth programs for Pre-K through 6th grade meet throughout the year in our gardens and at local schools. Participants learn how food grows and grow their own together in onsite or school gardens.
