GARDEN ON MARAIS

An agricultural gathering space that provides educational opportunities and facilitates access to nutrient-rich foods

2010 ushered in a new branch of Elan Ministries: Garden on Marais. Located in the Bywater neighborhood at the corner of Poland Ave. and Marais St., Garden on Marais facilitates educational opportunities for folks of all ages. Children enjoy a weekly 4H Club, and patrons ages 14+ join us to work the garden, attend educational activities, or simply enjoy the beautiful environment.
