Urbana, IL

The Lierman Neighborhood Community Garden is a project of the Lierman Neighborhood Action Committee (LNAC). The garden is located at the corner of Lierman Avenue and Washington Street in Urbana, on an undeveloped lot. The land was purchased by the City of Urbana with Community Development Block Grant Funds. LNAC leases the land for $1 per year. The garden was dedicated on September 8, 2012. ​

Volunteers grow produce for the community and distribute it for free on Saturdays during the growing season. Additionally, community members may rent plots at the garden on a sliding scale of $7 to $25; some raised beds also are available.
