A new season is starting at the East Longmeadow Community Garden at Brown Farm (64 Hampden Rd)! Join the community and enjoy planning, planting and caring for a plot within the garden. The season lasts from mid-May until about mid-October, weather permitting. The garden will be rototilled, sectioned, and ready for you with water onsite for your flowers and vegetables. Registration will close in early June or when the roster is full.
All gardeners may register for roughly 10x20 plots for $15 and returning gardeners in good standing have the option of registering for a roughly 20x20’ for $30 for the season. By registering you are confirming that you have reviewed and acknowledge the community expectations. When you register, you are committing for caring for your assigned plot within the East Longmeadow Community Gardens for the entire season as abandoned plots hurts the community. Returning gardeners are in 'good standing' if they have met this commitment to the community in the prior year.
You are also invited to help the garden organizers with any shared space projects organized by the community and with the sections used to grow food for sharing at the Sr. Center. If you are not a registered gardener, you will need to register as a volunteer and acknowledge the community expectations. You will find both support from fellow gardeners and opportunities to provide support and build community. Bring a friend to East Longmeadow Community Garden and make some new ones while you are there.
All registrations will go to a wait list & will be assigned to plots based on seniority of returning gardeners.
