"You don't have a garden just for yourself. You have it to share."



-Augusta Carter



Who We Are


The Howell Organic Community Garden (HOCG) is a non-profit organization established in 2015 by a group of Howell, NJ residents. They envisioned a community coming together to garden using sustainable, earth-friendly methods, so that they may enjoy, benefit from, learn from, and teach about the methods and fruits of organic gardening. In so doing, they hope to foster a strong sense of community starting with their members and their families.


What We Do



The Howell Organic Community Garden is a wonderful venue of member garden plots containing various local and heirloom vegetables and flowers that provide scrumptious harvest to their owners. In addition, HOCG has specialty garden areas dedicated to address different needs. Find out more about the various projects and endeavors of the HOCG here.


Our Members



"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."

-Margaret J. Wheatley


We are a diverse group of people in the HOCG brought together by our love of gardening as well as the desire to work with and as a community. The opportunity to learn from each other and from our individual experiences enrich our experience, and most importantly, it inspires us to seek ways to help improve not just our garden, but our town as well. In doing so, the HOCG thrives on the volunteer efforts of its members whose valuable time and hard work continuously serve as our organization's strong foundation.



You & the HOCG


Do you see yourself gardening with us? Are you excited to volunteer in one of our committees? We welcome new members every year!


As with any other part of life, the more time you invest in gardening, the better the outcome of your plot will be.
