Middlesex County Master Gardener Community Garden
The Community Garden was designed in 2006 by the CMGA Middlesex County Focus Group as a teaching aid for gardeners participating in the UConn Master Gardener Program at all levels, starting initially with a vegetable garden build in 2007. It is planted and maintained by our group, interns, and volunteers who have been certified through the program. The garden harvest is donated to the Middletown soup kitchen and pantry. We are committed to strengthening the Garden year after year, to include activities such as composting, seed propagation, crop rotation, and possible community involvement with mentoring provided by Master Gardeners. While we strive to maximize garden production, we are committed to experimentation and organic practices.
