Ron Ory Community Garden Plots Site Master Plan
Vision Statement
“To enhance the community gardens through maintaining existing garden plots while diversifying and improving site elements at the community gardens.”
Why a Site Master Plan in 2022?
The Ron Ory Community Garden Plots provide approximately 500 plots for gardeners in the community to grow their own vegetables and flowers. Over the years, other features have been added to the site, including the Idea Gardens, a tree nursery, honey bee hives and more. In 2022, as new ideas were being proposed for further development of the Garden Plots, the Park District believed that it was important to take time to reach out to the gardeners and the community for feedback about the site as it is now and what improvements may be helpful in the future considering the space available onsite.
With the assistance of Upland Design, Ltd., the Park District created a Site Master Plan for the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots. The plan is based on a site analysis and community input provided through interactive meetings with stakeholders and with the public and through an online survey that was also available to the public. The design team prepared concepts based on the input gathered. Following review by the Park District, the plans were presented for comments at a second public meeting. The design team then prepared a Site Master Plan with photos and sketches and a cost estimate. The plan was received by the Board of Commissioners at the August 11, 2022, regular meeting of the Naperville Park District Board of Commissioners.
