A Community Garden for Carrollton

With the assistance of Aldersgate United Methodist Church, Keep Carrollton Beautiful, the City of Carrollton, and numerous volunteers, Carrollton’s first community garden is taking shape. The garden will be located behind Aldersgate UMC, 3926 Old Denton Road, between the church and Kroger (at the corner of Old Denton and Hebron).

The mission of the garden is to grow community, food and knowledge. The voluntary board is meeting regularly to establish procedures and prepare for a planned spring opening. Any interested person(s) will be invited to fill out an application for a plot as long as the space is available. Fifty percent (50) of the food grown in the garden will be donated to a local service organization to assist those in need in our community.
The board is now pursuing donations from local businesses to meet the needs of establishing the garden plots. A local boy scout who is working on his Eagle badge is offering enormous assistance in building our fence and compost bins.
More information will follow soon.
