Registration Now Open for the 2021 Champlain College Community Garden – April 16th priority deadline
The Community Garden is located beside Rowell Annex and has 27 plots available for individual use by Champlain College community members (faculty, staff, and students). This garden runs similarly to the community gardens around Burlington. Use of the 4’ x 8’ plots costs $20 for faculty/staff, $10 for students, and there is no cost if all produce is donated to the Community Food Shelf. Plots are registered on a first come, first serve basis.
The plots fees will be used for general garden supplies and equipment. Community Gardeners will have access to tools and water and are asked to follow Champlain COVID protocols, garden rules, and participate in community garden work sessions or shared garden tasks on their own. No experience is necessary; we will work to partner garden mentors and mentees.
See our full description of the garden here and our registration form here.
For more information, contact Christina Erickson at cerickson@champlain.edu.
Also – we are looking for a Garden Manager for the 2021 season. This position is for ~2 hours/week to generally help oversee the garden, communicate with gardeners, and help organize a couple of community gatherings. Garden experience is very helpful, being able to work independently and within a small community a must. Contact cerickson@champlain.edu for more details.
