Community Garden
The Community Garden is a fun way to learn, grow and meet new gardeners. We hope you find this to be an enjoyable and fun experience, while meeting new people of the the same interest. Our gardeners love the team aspect of gardening together for the common goal of growing something that we can also share at the table. We love sharing ideas, recipes and time together.

2018 was our first year of the Community Garden. We learned a lot in our first year and hope to make each year better. Our gardeners have visited lots of Community Gardens and learned all sorts of innovative ways to garden, but we really liked working together versus personal garden plots. It allowed us to grow in rows and share more vegetables. We plan to continue this process in the future. That means we share the work, we share the vegetables and we share the love of gardening.

We also share the extra produce with local church pantries in Wendell. To be a member of our Community Garden, we have a small fee of $15, to be paid annually. We do have two growing seasons in the spring and fall. Anyone ages 15+ is welcome to join! For more info, contact Tim Kay at tkay@townofwendellnc.gov.
