In partnership arrangement with the Indian Prairie School District 204, Fox Valley Park District, and City of Aurora Eighth and Ninth Wards, our SEV Community Gardens develop as a neighborhood project to encourage community well-being, to connect neighbors, and to provide wholesome produce and ornamental plants for neighborhood benefit. Our 2 Garden sites locate near Gombert Elementary School on Ridge Road and near Georgetown Elementary School on Long Grove Drive.
