“In celebration of 50 years at Lions Park”
An effort to preserve our beautiful surroundings, the availability of our citizens to nature and outdoor activity, and conserve the natural habitats of plant life, insects, birds and animals. We’ve planted roughly 5,500 square feet of native trees, shrubs & perennials as well as a 2,000 square foot wildflower patch:
Main Street Community Garden
Main Street Community Garden began in 2017 as a place for Harrah citizens to grow food, but has blossomed into much more.
Phase I was a fenced, raised bed community garden for food production. Phase II added a wildflower patch, fruit trees and berries to the property. Phase III saw the dream of a working greenhouse realized. And Phase IV is the never ending effort to provide a beautiful setting of flowering shrubs and trees as well as pollinator attracting perennials.
This garden has something for everyone, and needs to be visited to truly appreciate its benefit to our community.
A partnership between the City of Harrah, the local non profit, Harrah Friends of the Park and a tireless volunteer gardening group.. this garden is a genuine example of community unity.
