Arco Community Garden

The centerpiece of UI Extension, Butte County’s Idaho Master Gardener Program is the Arco Community Garden (Facebook). The land was provided by the Butte County Fair Board and water is supplied by the City of Arco. Citizens can manage a private garden plot for a small fee. The community garden often supplies fresh vegetables to the local senior citizens center.

Small plans growing and a plastic greenhouse adjacent.
The Arco Community Garden strives to increase sustainability by involving residents in growing food, flowers and herbs locally in the Lost River Valleys.
