Community Gardens allow individuals, families and groups to experience the wonders of gardening in a general location.
For those who do not have the outdoor space in the backyards community gardens are a wonderful way to still enjoy planting, tending, and harvesting delicious fruits and vegetables or enjoy fabulous flowers. West Bend and Germantown have community gardens available.
Each year the WCMGs plant vegetable gardens at the community garden sites in the West Bend area and in Germantown. The purpose of these gardens is:
- to educate the community in gardening practices
- to offer assistance to other gardeners
- to demonstrate a variety of gardening techniques
- to provide fresh vegetables to a local senior center
- to provide education to local schools
The planting, maintenance, and harvesting of these gardens requires many volunteer hours and we are always looking for Master Gardeners for help.
