LUDLOW, Vt. – Spring is here, join the beautiful, organic Ludlow Community Garden. We are grateful for the continued support of the Fletcher Farm Foundation for allowing us to establish and maintain the community garden on their grounds for the past 26 years. The garden is located on Route 103, at the border between Ludlow and Proctorsville, and is open to all residents of Ludlow and neighboring towns. It will open around mid-to-late April, depending on the weather. Gardeners grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and small fruits.
Individual plots are 10 feet by 10 feet. Members take care of their plots as well as help maintain the common areas of the garden. Seeds are available only to garden members through our small seed library. A separate enclosed area is dedicated to composting food scraps. This is an ongoing educational project made possible through a Grow Grant from the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund and support from Composting Association of Vermont, Vermont Community Garden Network, and the participation of UVM Extension master gardeners and master composters.
Fees for plots and raised beds include the use of all garden tools, hoses, carts, water, compost, some seeds, and other materials. Scholarship plots are available upon request. Plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a few plots and raised beds available. If interested, please send an email with your full name, address, and phone number to garden secretary Emma Hileman at emma.hileman@gmail.com, or call her at 540-320-3399. For more information, contact Hileman or find the Ludlow Community Garden on Facebook.
