LUDLOW—The Ludlow Area Community Garden is open to all residents of Ludlow and neighboring towns. The fenced garden is located in the Fletcher Farm grounds on Route 103, at the border between Ludlow and Proctorsville. Individual 10’ x 10’ plots are used to grow vegetables, flowers, and some fruit. Waist-high raised beds are available too. This is a “Community” garden and all members are expected to join in and take part in the maintenance of their own plots as well as the common areas of this beautiful garden.
A separate enclosed area is dedicated to food scrap composting. This is an on-going educational project made possible through a Grow Grant from the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund and support from: Composting Association of Vermont, Vermont Community Garden Network, and the participation of UVM Extension Master Gardeners and Master Composters.
The $15 per plot/per year fee includes the use of garden tools, hoses, tiller, carts, water, compost and other materials. Due to current recommendations to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, we will not have a general registration meeting this year. To sign up and reserve a plot, please send an email with your full name, address and phone number to: ludlowareacommunitygarden@gmail.com
A reply with instructions will be sent to all who email. Plots are available on a first come, first serve basis.
