In 2008, the Town of South Kingstown and the School Committee gave permission to a group of residents and friends, including Hunger Task Force members, to develop a community garden on land adjacent to Broad Rock Middle School. The land has been cleared and tilled, and the garden was first prepared for planting in the spring of 2009.
Individuals plots of two sizes are now available for lease, and clients of the Jonnycake Center can garden free of charge. The garden is actively seeking volunteers and donations to support its development.
The application form and Garden Rules are available using the link to the right. Garden plots are available on a first come basis until filled.
You can follow the progress of the Garden online at www.relocalize.us on the "Community Garden" page.
