We’re excited to share that something special is starting at Allen Homes.
On February 11, 2026 (9:00AM), Black Farm Street Inc. will officially kick off work on the Allen Homes Community Garden — a project shaped by resident voices and built for community connection.
This garden is about more than growing food. It’s about creating a shared space for neighbors to gather, learn, play, and grow together. Planned updates include raised garden beds, irrigation, shaded areas for education and gatherings, public art, and improvements to the basketball court, all guided by input from Allen Homes residents.
Before work begins, we’ll be out in the neighborhood on February 4, connecting door-to-door to share what’s coming, answer questions, and invite residents to be part of the process.
We’re grateful to be doing this work alongside Augusta Locally Grown, the City of Augusta Housing & Community Development Department, and the Greater Augusta Arts Council. More details — including a larger community celebration — are coming this spring.
