Spring 2019 Garden season is almost here!

The Conshohocken Community Garden is gearing up for our 9th season opening this spring! Applicants can apply via this website (see Apply for Membership) and will be contacted when a plot becomes available. Membership for the year includes a 10’ x 10’ plot of soil, access to water and shared tools, and numerous member events throughout the season. Applicants can choose to be a Garden Member or a Working Member, depending on their ability to participate in work days and pay corresponding dues. Questions can be sent through the Contact page or to our email address: conshohohockencommunitygarden@gmail.com.

Stay tuned for updates on our first meeting of the season in March and our season kick-off Happy Hour in late February!

  • Carol made a new garden sign using herbs grown in the garden.
  • The front planters have fresh flowers.

  • The shed is clean and organized. The lawn mower and edge trimmer are ready for use.
  • The community herb garden is ready for planting.
  • The mini flower bed behind the shed is ready for planting.
  • Soil is cut away to allow the gate to close easily.
  • Paul McConnell’s double plot is weeded, cleaned, partitioned into a single plot for dedication.
