The Town of Bennett is looking for community participants to plant and care for the Bennett Community Garden in Civic Center Park.
There are currently 12 garden beds and the Town is looking for gardeners to care for those beds and help the garden flourish. Gardeners would be assigned a garden plot and would be responsible for plot prep, planting seeds/seedlings, weeding, maintenance and watering their spot.
There are no fees associated with maintaining the garden beds but the Town does recommend a donation to those who participate. This donation goes toward costs associated with water, maintenance and materials for the garden.
The Town first opened the community garden in the summer of 2020 after receiving grants from Adams County Open Space and LiveWell HEAL Cities and Towns. The garden was created to connect area residents with their agricultural heritage and provide individuals of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to come together in the spirit of community.
Individuals who are interested in being a community gardener should contact Public Works Office Coordinator, Sarah Shepherd, at (303)644-3249 ext. 1039 or sshepherd@bennett.co.us.
