2023 and Growing!
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Did you know we broke ground this past fall for our first
ever Community Garden? That’s right, the Library was
awarded a federal grant via the Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA) and staff, board members, and
volunteers came together and worked alongside members
of the Sheriff’s Department to construct raised garden beds
and prepare them for spring planting.
At the Plymouth Public Library, there are infinite ways to
learn. The Community Garden takes a hands-on approach
to important lessons about sustainability, healthy living, and
stewardship for the natural world. We have programs for
gardeners of every type and experience level, and we can’t
wait to see you apply the knowledge you’ve gained in your
own backyard or botany class.
Not much may grow in the winter, but gardening is a year-
long endeavor and learning will never end. We will have
regular programming on how to maintain your own home
garden in the winter, the art of seed-sowing, and how to use
pole frames. And in the springtime, be sure to book your
