Community Growing

Learn about vegetable gardening, and grow your own vegetables. This a great way for individuals and families to learn more about growing a variety of vegetables and herbs, and to taste some new things.

We have gardening opportunities available at the Rock Meadow Garden. Sign up to volunteer, and check out our recent blog posts!

This project has grown over the years

• In 2012, we experimented by growing produce in someone’s front yard. It worked well, so we decided to expand.

• In 2013, we built four raised beds at the Beth El Temple Center in Belmont.

• In 2014, the Belmont High School Garden and Food Justice Club added beds at the high school.

• In 2015, we added six beds at the Belmont Victory Garden at Rock Meadow.

• In 2016, we donated 235 pounds of produce to the Belmont Food Pantry from the gardens at Beth El Temple Center & Rock Meadow.

• See a 2017 story in the Belmont Citizen-Herald.

• In 2018, we had 13 volunteers, 4 Scout troop visits and 2 activities at the Belmont Farmers' Market. Our new focus is on teaching people to create their own gardens.
