Community Garden

Picture1Facilities and Overview
Begun in 1977 on eight acres leased from the State, this site allows folks to grow vegetables and flowers on their own, annually rented, plot of ground. Registration for these plots is competitive with most snapped up in March. All garden plots are committed for the 2022 season. There are 318 plots and two hand pumps for water. Residents of Dauphin County who are interested in registering for a community garden can contact Michelle McKeown at mmckeown@dauphinc.org or by calling at 717-599-5188 ext. 2117.
