About the Garden

The new award winning Town of Montgomery Community Garden is available for you in Benedict Park, a Town of Montgomery Park. Located on Rte 17K one mile west of the village of Montgomery NY, the garden occupies two acres of high ground within the one hundred acres of Benedict Farm Park. The community garden is divided into 66 single plots most 20 ft x 20ft and available to be gardened singly, double, triple or in quadruple combination.

Each gardener or team of gardeners will be asked to donate $25.00 per plot and contribute at least 2 hours of community garden service. Running water, communal tools, a compost pile and fencing have been provided. Gardeners use their plots to grow both vegetables and flowers.

A common area in the garden, with a picnic table and fruit trees and berry bushes is available to the gardeners for pot-luck dinners, gardening demonstrations and relaxation.

Visitors are welcome—hikers, joggers, bird and butterfly watchers may rest and enjoy the view. They are asked to stay on grass paths. No pets are allowed within the garden fence. Nothing may be taken from the gardens. Smoking is allowed in the common area only as to avoid infecting tomato plants with Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
