Mari Sunami Community Garden on the South Side is part of Columbus history. It is the original garden for the South Side Settlement House which served new Columbus residents for over 100 years. Community Development for All People has done a wonderful job working to transform the space and recreate it into a vibrant community garden. There are open spots for growers if you would like your own spot to grow, plus there will be educational outreach in the space and even a few plants and seeds for gardeners to use to get started.
I will be hosting Garden Walks at the garden on three upcoming Tuesdays, all at 6pm, to come learn, get questions answered, and see this unique piece of Columbus history. Here are the dates:
- Tuesday April 1st @ 6pm – Spring Planting
- Tuesday May 13th @ 6pm – Summer Planting
- Tuesday June 17th @ 6pm – Pest and Disease Management
There are open spots available if you are looking to garden, both in the ground and soon to be raised bed garden where the tarp is located. To ask about an open spot contact Sue Wolfe at garden@4allpeople.net or call 614-937-6543

Full sun location with new water service!
The garden can be a little tricky to find so here is a picture of the location from Google Maps
