Union Community Garden
![Community Garden: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

Overview
The Union Community Garden was founded in the summer of 2009. It was established with the help of Neighborhood Progress, Inc., Slavic Village Development, OSU Extension, and the vastly important work of community members. The garden exists on land that once was occupied by foreclosed and degrading homes.
UCG is a Summer Sprout garden.
The garden won a grant from the Cleveland Colectivo in 2010 to purchase and construct two greenhouses on the garden premises.
