On May 14, 2011, with the assistance of grant funding and labor provided by staff of The Home Depot, United Way volunteers, City leaders, and many helping hands from the community, the Westbrook Community Garden came to life behind and alongside the Westbrook Community Center at 426 Bridge Street! The 86-bed Garden, an organic and cooperative effort, is now entering its 12th summer of operation and continues to be a fun and healthy hobby for aficionados, families, friends, and many more. Whether you grow fruits, vegetables, or flowers for yourself … which is a great way to save money, or donate your harvest to organizations in need – such as The Westbrook Community Food & Resource Center, the Westbrook Community Garden is a wonderful way to be outdoors, get exercise, relieve stress, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment. And it’s a great way to get kids of all ages involved and teach them life lessons. Beds, just $25 each/year, are either 5’x10’ or 4’x12’, depending on location, and fresh water, compost, and gardening tools are available on site. If interested, and to rent your bed(s) online using a credit card, please see the bed listings below, or contact Tom at [email protected] or 207.854.0676, option 2. All gardeners must abide by the set guidelines. After 10+ years of operation, we do understand that some of the beds are becoming weathered. We are currently looking for grants to fund improvements. With any luck, this will happen in 2022, but may not be until the fall. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call Tom at 207.854-0676, option 2, or e-mail [email protected].
