Community Garden Gets A Mini Makeover

Have you noticed the new addition to the Community Garden? To free up the plot dedicated to pollinator plants for another gardener, the Addison Parks Department cleared that plot and installed a butterfly garden nearby. In addition to these changes, the Parks staff is giving the garden a mini-makeover. Look for new signs in and around the the area and on the shed, as well as a new picnic table that will offer a convenient resting spot for gardeners.

The Community Garden, which is located adjacent to the Athletic Club, opened in September 2010 and is a joint effort between the Town and the Addison Arbor Foundation. Plot leases are available only to Addison residents for an annual fee of $100. Most new plot assignments are made in January but occasionally plots become available during the year. You can learn more and get on the waiting list for a future plot on the Town's website.
