The Garden
Growing Food Justice in West Charlotte
Kika's House Community Garden at 1525 Enderly Road is more than just a garden—it's a movement for food sovereignty, community health, and cultural preservation in West Charlotte.
About Our Garden
Kika’s House Community Garden at 1525 Enderly Road brings neighbors together to grow food, share knowledge, and learn across generations. Rooted in West Charlotte, it welcomes community involvement from Enderly Park, the Freedom Drive and Tuckaseegee Road areas, and the surrounding 28208 community. Our purpose is to connect fresh food, garden learning, and community care.
Addressing Food Insecurity
Our garden connects West Charlotte neighbors with fresh produce and hands-on food growing. We focus on practical ways to support food access in the Enderly Park and Freedom Drive community.
Community-Led Initiative
Founded and operated by community members, our garden celebrates cultural food traditions while building skills and knowledge through intergenerational connection.
Supporting Healthy Habits
Growing, preparing, and sharing fresh food creates opportunities to learn healthy habits. Our garden offers a welcoming place for movement, time outdoors, and connection across generations.
At Kika’s House, our community garden is more than a patch of land – it’s a living classroom, healing space, and gathering point for West Charlotte. We grow fresh produce, herbs, and flowers while teaching our neighbors how food, wellness, and economic freedom are all connected.
This video gives you a glimpse into the energy, joy, and hard work happening in our garden – from planting days to harvest and community events.
