The Fairhaven Community Garden is located in Fairhaven, MA. Now in its fourth year, the garden was created to offer residents an opportunity to garden organically in a community setting. It is managed by the gardeners under the direction of the Fairhaven Community Garden Committee, a sub-committee of the Town of Fairhaven Sustainability Committee.

For 2012, the garden will be located at the Hastings Middle School. Eighteen new beds have been created at this site, each measuring 8' x 4'. All gardeners contribute to the overall management of the garden as well as cultivate their individual beds. Community work days are periodically scheduled throughout the spring, summer and fall. First year gardeners are initially offered one bed; returning gardeners may garden two beds if there are enough beds available.

Formerly on the grounds of the Leroy Wood Elementary School, the garden comprised 36 garden beds.  Students from the Leroy Wood School continue to manage four beds at the original garden site, however, that site will close while construction of the new school proceeds.

Applications for a garden bed for 2012 at Hastings Middle School are available on this site or by emailing the site coordinator.
