Alice’s Garden is a Milwaukee staple that has reached 50 years of operating in the city. It was established to create a space for the community to learn how to grow their own healthy food, and that’s exactly what it has been doing.
Alice’s Garden has become a place for peace through projects, workshops and events like their weekly walks where community members can experience the labyrinth.
“We use gardening as the carrot to impact the entire quality of life,” said Executive Director and Minister Venice Williams.
The urban farm resides on 21st and Garfield, which came after the city built a freeway through thriving Black neighborhoods and businesses.
