Knitting Mill Creek Community Garden
Several gardens; a Community Garden.
Have a hankering for home-grown tomatoes, cukes, and squash? Spring is right around the corner--and so is the 10th anniversary of the Knitting Mill Creek Community Garden. If a veggie patch isn't possible in your own yard, rent a plot at the award-winning KMC Community Garden, located at the end of Mayflower Road between Georgia and Michigan Avenues, behind Fellini's.

One May 6, 2000, the Knitting Mill Creek Community Garden was officially dedicated. Mayor Paul Fraim and Senator Yvonne Miller joined Becky Kiser, the motivating force behind this project, to plant two fruit trees near the entrance to the garden, which is located in the Mayflower Road paper street behind Fellini's on Colley Avenue.
