About the Belleville Heart Garden
Welcome to Belleville Heart Garden, a vibrant community park located at 806 South High Street, Belleville, Illinois. Nestled near the southeast corner of S. High Street and E. Grant Street, this unique demonstration garden is a testament to sustainable gardening practices and community spirit.
Managed by a dedicated group of volunteer stewards, Belleville Heart Garden features a variety of attractions including raised vegetable beds, a flourishing herb garden, and an array of native plants that attract and support pollinators. In 2021, a community orchard was added, enhancing the garden’s offerings. An innovative system of rain gardens is integrated into the landscape to manage stormwater runoff, benefiting the local ecosystem and its visitors.
The garden is open to the public and free of charge, providing a serene and educational space for all. Volunteers gather regularly on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings throughout the spring, summer, and fall to maintain and nurture the garden.
Belleville Heart Garden not only showcases the beauty and importance of native plants but also serves as a hub for learning sustainable gardening techniques suitable for urban settings. Whether you're looking to volunteer, learn more about sustainable gardening, or simply enjoy a peaceful day outdoors, Belleville Heart Garden welcomes you.

Reviews of Belleville Heart Garden
"A little slice of heaven, if there was a hobbit garden in Belleville this would be it."
"This garden is a shining example of what community means. I love living near it and driving by it everyday. We had extra vegetable plants after putting on our home garden. They didn't have a use for them but said we could leave them by the shed and visitors to the garden could take them home."
"The cutest little local garden! Always available produce - Always kind and welcoming volunteers - Always little goodies for picking during the summer months. My kiddos thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!"
"The Belleville Heart Garden is a free community garden that has homegrown produce and herbs. There is a wonderful selection to choose from. The heart swing makes for adorable photo opportunities. This is a great place for the whole family and would make an excellent field trip for all ages. Bring a book to trade in or take a free book from the free little library box."
