Community Plot and Volunteer Coordinator

If you have any questions related to the Community Plot, volunteering in the Community Plot, or requesting a donation from the Community Plot, please email Tracy or call her at 829-8194.

The Community Plot

Produce in the Community Plot section of the YCG is grown from seeds and seedlings that are donated by local garden supply stores.

The garden is planted, tended, and harvested by volunteers. If you'd like to dig in and join us, we'd love to have you; just call, and we'll put you to work!

Donations

We donate all produce harvested from the Community Plot to local food pantries and other community service organizations. We deliver donations weekly from early July through mid-October.

In 2009, YCG distributed 2,600 pounds of fresh organic vegetables to more than 200 local residents, making YCG the largest garden contributor to Cumberland County's Plant-a-Row for the Hungry program.

Examples of produce grown for donation are lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, green peppers, and basil. Flowers included zinnias (the town flower), cosmos, and snapdragons.
