Breezy Point launched a community garden in 2025, and it filled a need the town did not know it had. The garden offers 36 in-ground plots at 10 by 18 feet each, plus raised beds, on city land, with applications handled through city hall. For a community built around resorts and lake recreation, it is a quieter kind of amenity, and one that says a lot about year-round life here.

How the Garden Works

  • Plots: 36 in-ground plots at 10 by 18 feet, plus raised beds, including five at 17 inches high and 26 at 32 inches high, each 8 by 4 feet.
  • Cost: $40 for Breezy Point residents and $50 for non-residents in 2026.
  • Reservations: first-come, first-served, with priority for Breezy Point property owners and a limit of one plot per owner. Renewals ran in February, new resident plots opened March 2 through 27, and non-residents could apply April 15 through 30.
  • Season: May 1 through October 17, open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM, with a mandatory orientation for every gardener.
  • Why a Garden Fits Breezy Point

  • **It builds community.** Gardeners share tools, advice, and extra tomatoes, and the plots put neighbors next to neighbors in a way that is hard to manufacture.
  • **It is a year-round signal.** A town that invests in a garden is thinking about the people who live here, not just the visitors who come for the season.
  • **It is practical.** Fresh produce, lower grocery bills, and a reason to be outside are all real benefits, especially for seasonal residents who want to feel settled.
  • The Honest Read

    The community garden is a small project on the town's list, sitting next to the library, the city hall work, and the quiet civic side of Breezy Point. But small projects often say the most about a community. Breezy Point is known for Pelican Lake and the resort life, and the garden shows it is also a place where people put down roots in the literal sense. Our Breezy Point guide covers the full picture.
