There are several reasons why the Ashland Community Gardens has been a successful communal organic vegetable (and flower) garden in downtown Ashland for 14 years.
First, it is a peaceful and calming place where you can forget the rush and demands of the rest of the world. I love to walk around the 4 foot by 10 foot beds to see what other gardeners are growing.
We hold potlucks where people bring their favorite plant-based recipes. I have expanded my healthy recipe repertoire each season.
Volunteer “Green Hats” offer free mentoring. I have improved my gardening skills, thanks to the generous help of my fellow gardeners.
It is easily a place to develop friendships. Gardeners look out for one another and solve problems collectively.
Warning: there is a steady waitlist, so act soon. Join us “Where Community Grows”.
