The Cottage City Community Garden opened in March 2010 as the first community garden in the Port Towns of Prince George’s County. The garden is supported through partnerships with the Anacostia Watershed Society, Community Forklift, ECO City Farms, Port Towns Health Partnership and the Port Towns Youth Council and Cottage City Residents.

We see the importance of a ‘community asset’ like the garden in providing local organic food to our community and providing critical community networking and the type of neighbor-to-neighbor interaction and team spirit that helps to build strong communities.
