The Garden

Lynn Community Garden at Expand.

A partnership between Lynn Community Impact and Expand Energy — bringing gardening, nutrition, and community together in Oklahoma City.

Bringing Gardening to the Community

A garden, a partnership, and a vision for healthier neighborhoods.

In 2023, we launched an initiative that will impact the Oklahoma City community for years to come. Expand Energy (formerly Chesapeake Energy) and Lynn Community Impact signed a five-year renewable lease, giving our team oversight and management of a 65-bed garden located south of N.W. 63rd and Shartel in Oklahoma City.

We are transforming the garden into a hub for community involvement — focused on family-centered events, health and nutrition programs, cooking classes, and gardening workshops. Garden beds are being restored, crops are being cultivated, and food is being harvested for the benefit of the city. The space also hosts specialized programs that enhance community well-being.

“This is an amazing garden space, an incredible opportunity, and a project that will have a powerful impact on vulnerable communities across our city.”
— Lisa Buck, Chief Executive Officer
