Community Garden

Community Garden

The Beach Lake Community Garden, located behind Beach Lake United Methodist Church opposite the Carousel Amusement Park on Rt. 652 has garden parcels available for the Spring.  These parcels are about 12' x 40' each and we only ask for a contribution of $15.00. Our garden uses natural organics only and the harvest is all yours to enjoy. We do, however, encourage our gardeners, as well as home gardeners, to "Plant-A-Row For The Hungry."  The collected food is then taken to food pantries in our area.
