History of the Children's Garden
A perennial garden was planted in the Spring of 2024 and included a variety of fruits and vegetables that kids love, including fruit trees (Cherry, Peach, Plum, and Pear), raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, honeyberries, grapes, ground cherries, asparagus, peas, garlic, sweet potatoes, winter squash, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and more!
In our first growing season we piloted programming with Imagine Academy and a local homeschooling group. In 2025 we expanded programming to include Stoughton Parks and Recreation offerings. Our programming is rooted in the belief that gardening can transform individuals and society for the betterment of all. Gardening teaches kids where their food comes from and promotes healthy eating habits. It gives kids the opportunity to practice responsibility, leadership, and teamwork.
