CGC received a grant in 2011 to protect and preserve a portion of South Portland's diminishing open space for community gardening. Our goal is to create an organic community garden that is well-managed and well-equipped so that users, especially those new to gardening, will find success and satisfaction and become passionate advocates for locally-grown produce and flowers. Funds were used for materials (fencing, raised beds, hoses, gravel) to start the new garden.

to create and support opportunities for all residents, regardless of circumstances, to have access to gardens within the community. CGC plans to develop safe, beautiful and well-equipped facilities for gardeners to grow and harvest high-quality organic produce and flowers.
