Join Ben Franklin Community Garden for an afternoon of delicious food, music, games, beer & wine while you bask in the beauty of the largest community garden in Cuyahoga County. With 207 plots and 180 gardeners, the garden is an incredibly peaceful, 5-acre oasis just minutes from downtown and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Each year gardeners donate upwards of 5,000 pounds of fresh produce to local food pantries. The grounds are a Cleveland Landmark, a designated wildlife habitat and monarch butterfly waystation. There's no better way to spend a fall afternoon than in this crown jewel of Cleveland's west side.
