St. Matthew's Lakefront ElderGarten located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was once a vacant plot of land between downtown and the lakefront that was turned into a senior community garden for those 55+. The space promotes health through gardening and social interaction in a park-like setting. Designed by Tim R. Garland, RLA, owner of Garland Alliance, Inc., the ElderGarten includes a Celtic cross that came to be because of community support ranging from local businesses and artists to Boy Scott troops and individual donors since inception.

 
Development of the site began in 2015 with the installation of 40 raised beds that range in shape and size. They are rented for a nominal fee between May and October each year. Over time, a custom shed was added along with pollinator and rain gardens, a food forest, and art installations.
Pollinator beds were added and now bloom native sedges and wildflowers that attract and support bees, birds, and other pollinators, while rain gardens hold stormwater on site. Bird baths, nesting boxes, and bee hotels are found throughout the design, along with native trees and shrubs that provide food and habitat.
The food forest consists of a small orchard of apple, pear, and plum trees surrounded by a hedgerow of native shrubs and vines that were underplanted with other fruits and herbs, including rosemary, sage, oregano, lavender, strawberries, and rhubarb. The shrub rows create a natural border while feeding and sheltering birds and other wildlife.
A unique artistic installation of branches, cuttings, and vines, called "THE NEST," form a seating area. It has become a topic of conversation and a popular destination for those visiting. Nearby, there is an earthen sculpture not unlike Native American effigy mounds, consisting of four long berms resembling rolling lake waves.
There is also a council circle built around a large maple tree featuring benches anchored with planters that was donated for an Eagle Scout project. Picnic tables were then donated by the City of Kenosha and two Little Free Library boxes were built and donated by Harborside Academy students. In addition, a vegetable stand was added to enable gardeners to share.
