The Dunleath Community Garden is a uniquely pastoral setting at the edge of downtown Greensboro. Located on Chestnut St. on the block between Brandon St. and Heritage Pl, at the site of the former Dunleath Mansion, the garden is a mix of individually gardened plots and communal areas for all neighbors to enjoy. Signs indicate areas for harvest by all in the neighborhood, such as the strawberry patches, peach trees, and flowers.
The Dunleath Garden is an organic garden that reflects the character of our neighborhood. A diversity of produce—including bottle gourds, okra, hops, bitter melon, and much more— reflects the diversity of our neighbors. A pollinator garden supports native bees and European honey bees, butterflies, and many other insects, spiders, skinks, and birds that help the garden thrive. Furthermore, the colorful garden shed was built by our neighbors, in accordance with the neighborhood historic district guidelines, to blend with the unique character of our neighborhood.
