If March sunshine has you thinking about mouthwatering tomatoes and cucumbers, don’t miss out on a space at the Potter County Community Garden. The application process began in mid-January, and we ONLY HAVE 4 BEDS LEFT! The garden officially opens on April 26^th for planting cold-hearty vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and cabbage. Then June 7^th marks the warm planting season. Whether you’ve gardened before or are a newbie, all are welcome at PCCG.

The mission of the community garden is 1) to empower the community to plant, grow and harvest their own produce, 2) to provide education on the value of gardening, 3) to promote community interaction & unity, and 4) to offer solutions to food insecurity. The Potter County Community Garden is a joint-partnership between UPMC, the Potter County Commissioners, Potter County Conservation, and Penn State Extension.

Any individuals or group interested in reserving a community garden plot free of charge should email pccg2022@gmail.com or visit http://pottercountycommunitygarden.org to apply online or find out more.
