Our farm features a variety of gardens that foster both community engagement and environmental stewardship. We offer a community garden space where local members can grow their own produce, alongside a certified Native Plant & Pollinator Garden that promotes biodiversity and sustainability. Our high tunnel is used to cultivate flowers and fresh produce year-round, with all gardens managed by a dedicated team of UNH Extension Master Gardener Volunteers and community volunteers. These gardens are a place to connect with nature, learn, and grow together.
Organic Community Garden
Our community garden offers a limited number of 10×20 plots to grow produce for personal use. Our garden truly is a community – a space for gardeners of all skill levels to gather and learn from one another.
For only $80 per season (2024 rate), you can claim a 10×20 garden plot in our community garden. Take this opportunity to get in the dirt and grow your own fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
Email Betsey@theeducationalfarm.org to be placed on the community garden waitlist.
Native Plant & Pollinator Garden
We are proud to be home to a certified Pollinator-Friendly Garden. Both native and domestic pollinator populations are declining, affected by habitat loss, climate change, and contact with pesticides. UNH Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are taking action to protect pollinators by creating and maintaining a beautiful pollinator garden at the Farm. The farm became a certified Pollinator-Friendly Garden in 2022.
UNH Extension Master Gardener Volunteers have created beautiful garden spaces for everyone to enjoy. Contact us if you’d like to get involved with our garden program.
