Applications are available in person at Elm Street Elementary School, Painesville City Local Schools Board Office, Painesville City Hall

Red Raider Community Gardens is a collaborative effort between Painesville City Local Schools, the City of Painesville, First Church Congregational, Lake Erie College, the Lake County General Health District and a handful of volunteers from the Lake County Master Gardeners. This year, the group received funding from the Lake County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to build a shed and fence to enclose the garden.
