Maymont Community Garden is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Community Garden operating in Riverview Community Park in Richmond's Maymont Neighborhood. Our Nonprofit status is through Verdant Richmond. The Garden was founded in 2020 by neighbors on Texas Avenue.

To assist the growth of a thriving community space at Riverview Community Park, balancing the three core identities of the site as 1:Skatepark, 2:Community Garden, and 3:Play Space. Growing a community garden that supports skate-park users, playing children, the ecology and biodiversity of the site, and supports deepening interdependence between neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood, with a special focus on neighbors immediately surrounding the Park.

The community garden has 20 raised plots leased to individual gardeners for $0 for growing organic vegetables and produce. Outside the fenced grid of raised beds there is an established network of paths meandering around the park, where volunteers have planted over 30 native trees and shrubs, as well as many native flowers. Volunteers also maintain a little seed library, a free community mulch pile and compost drop off accessible to residents, and in the fall accept collected leaves for drop-off/composting. Although the garden is situated on a small parcel, volunteers at Maymont Community Garden have an outsized impact on the neighborhood, with each aspect of their work helping create a beautiful, multifaceted free community space for all of our neighbors.
