FRANKLIN COMMUNITY GARDENS

In 2009, local community gardens sprung up throughout Franklin with the help of New England Chapel. It is now a funded community organization. The Community Garden Committee seeks to create welcoming organic gardens where residents may grow healthy food, share knowledge, nurture relationships, create beauty, and have fun! Support the gardens by joining the team, purchasing a plot or donating your time and green thumb.
