Help us continue to grow in our 50th year! The Sharon Community Garden is a passive recreation group that serves over 85 families at capacity, with members ranging in age from teens to senior citizens. We sponsor High School clubs, Eagle Scouts, home-school learners, and gardeners with limited mobility. Families with young children and seniors in their 90s are active members. There are few such inclusive recreation opportunities in town. We have been active members of the Sharon landscape for 50 years and growing. Please keep the garden a vibrant member of Sharon's offerings to the town by supporting our continuing existence on town land.
Year of Growing
In recent years, community gardens have been sprouting up across the nation, with their popularity growing year by year. Community gardens provide essential services for local communities, and have even been used to promote resilience during the pandemic. It is a form of urban gardening, these gardens are recognized as healthy additions to communities, and provide a wealth of benefits for gardeners and the broader community as a whole. They provide opportunities for both recreational gardening and food production, in underutilized spaces.
