 Community Gardens

NEW in 2011 for the Westminster Community Garden

We are very happy to announce that, this year, the City of Westminster is working with a group of volunteers from Sustainable Living Maryland, a Carroll County non-profit to manage the community gardens. We are excited about this new partnership and the opportunities we anticipate it bringing to our gardeners. If you are a returning gardener, nothing is anticipated to change for you and your plot is waiting for you if you still want it.
