2024 GARDENING SEASON
If you are interested in having a raised bed plot in the Warrensburgh Community Garden this year, now is the time to apply. The garden is the first element of the Paper Mill Park recently completed by the Town Parks & Recreation Dept. on the Schroon River. To reach the garden, from the intersection of State Routes 9 (Main Street) and 418 (River Street), travel approximately 2 miles on Rte. 418 toward Thurman. It will be on the right near the hydro dam, 446 River Street.
The garden has twenty-six raised beds ready for adoption by individuals, youth groups, civic organizations and businesses who would like to grow their own fresh produce for themselves or others. Water is supplied by the Town. Deer fencing protects all of our crops from any nuisance wildlife that wants to eat our harvest! A three bin composting system is available to recycle nutrients. A native pollinator hedge row in the rear of the garden attracts beneficial insects. The garden was awarded a Community Conservation Program Grant through the Warren County SWCD to plant small fruit, herbs and additional pollinator friendly perennials. Also, an Urban Garden Initiative Grant for amended soil and cover crop seeds.
A membership application needs to be completed whether you are a returning gardener or applying for the first time. Please use the contact info below to request an application. Fill out and include a $10 check made payable to WBI and mail to: Warrensburgh Beautification Inc., PO Box 312, Warrensburgh, NY 12885. If you would like more than one bed please note on the application. Beds are either 4' x 12' or 4 'x 10'. There is no extra charge for additional beds, just based on availability. Unless you are a returning gardener, reach out to Tom O’Dea, our Community Garden Plot Coordinator, via email at packforest@gmail.com or call 518-623-9333 for your plot assignment.
Looking forward to another great growing season 🌱
