Community Gardens

CAC Beardsley Community Farm is proud to provide 28 community garden plots to local residents. Gardeners sign up in March, free of charge, and can use their plot through November, with water provided by Beardsley as well as a tool-lending library. We till the plots once a year, and amend the soil with our rich compost, so all you have to do is bring the seeds and some elbow grease. There’s no better time to start gardening, so apply for a Community Garden plot today!

For more information on our community gardens,

CAC Beardsley Community Farm will also be offering a new education series to help our community gardeners manage their plot more effectively. The education series is open to all community members.

Classes will be offered twice a week, from 5-6:00 PM.
