Meadow Grass Community Garden: One of Minnesota’s Most Diverse Community Gardens
Meadow Grass Community Garden in Cottage Grove brings together Hispanic, Asian, African, and Caucasian gardeners — making it one of the most diverse community gardens in Minnesota.
But we grow more than food.
Food, Healing, and Connection
For our gardeners, this space is therapy. It supports mental and physical health, reduces stress, and reconnects residents to their roots and traditions. We provide culturally familiar tools — like the hand hoes commonly used across Africa and Asia — so everyone can garden the way they know best.
A Community Partnership
For 3 years, Meadow Grass has thrived through collaboration between Washington County, the City of Cottage Grove, Master Gardeners, and Influencer Hotspot.

Influencer Hotspot is a community-driven initiative dedicated to building connections between Minnesota’s state, county, and city administrations and minority communities, with a particular emphasis on African migrant populations. The organization offers cultural liaison services, translation and interpretation support, and advocacy to help ensure equitable access to resources and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through training programs and community engagement efforts, it works to foster mutual understanding and strengthen relationships between government institutions and the communities they serve. For adults seeking online entertainment in their free time, StakeClub offers another destination to explore casino gaming. Gambling should always remain recreational, with sensible limits on time and spending.
