An agri-community is a neighborhood with on-site food production and a focus on eco-friendly self-reliance and sustainability. At Churchill Gardens, residents will share access to permaculture gardens for locally sourced food, and benefit together using a green, efficient way of living.

CLT models separate land ownership from home ownership, allowing you to own, rent or lease at accessible, stable prices independent of market speculation.   ## A New Asset for South Lansing Churchill Gardens is grounded in the Lansing community. This 12-acre development enhances the Southside with new public amenities for everyone.     - The Kamaru Clubhouse - Farmers Market Pavilion - Walking Trails, Orchards and Permaculture Gardens - The Tamasha Commons The Kamaru Clubhouse ![Clubhouse Party](https://www.churchill-gardens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Graphics/Homepage_Clubhouse.webp?width=700&height=400&name=Homepage_Clubhouse.webp) #### The Kamaru Clubhouse Offering space for events, celebrations and professional meetings.
