West Haven Community Garden (WHCG) is an all-volunteer organization, dedicated to the promotion of locally grown, organic produce. It will be located on approximately one acre of Molloy School property and will have 100 individual plots. WHCG will be open from April 1 to October 31.
WHCG is non-profit, non-partisan, and non-discriminatory. It is a multi-cultural and multi-generational program that provides West Haven residents with the opportunity to meet people and create community, get exercise through gardening, learn new skills, enrich the environment, and grow healthy, accessible food for themselves, food banks, and local charitable organizations.
There will be a communal garden included among the plots to raise food to donate to local food banks. Educational programs will be offered students K-12 and to the general public as possible. A gathering space will be provided for gardeners to rest and communicate with each other. We also have plans to have a bee hive once the garden is established.
