Ashland Community Gardens: Where Community Grows

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”.
