Our purpose is to create a community garden to serve the residents of Montgomery Vermont who can rent small plots of land for personal use to grow their own vegetables. There are 18 garden plots in total. 7 which are 25 feet by 50 feet and 11 which at 25 feet by 25 feet. There are 31 adult gardeners and 11 youths involved . All members are residents of Montgomery Vermont.The role of this garden is to provide community members a place to garden. Many of our members live in places where they can not have a garden. Some are renters, some live on land where it is very shady, some of our members have small lots and wanted the chance to expand their garden. Many members grow all their root crops at the community garden. The last two summers the community garden participated in Montgomery's Harvest Day Festival. It is a fundraiser for the Montgomery Garden Club. We sold vegetables which were grown in our gardens and we provided lunch for the community. Some of the money we raised was donated to The Montgomery Conservation Commision. Last summer we hosted the Montgomery Garden Club at the community garden. We gave a tour of the garden for their members, showed off members plots and and all the different kinds of plants that were growing in members plots. Last summer we participated in our town's annual July 4th Parade to create community awarenss.
