The Beginnings
  • The Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee learned that
  • Several Middleton residents are currently driving
    to Madison to garden on community plots
  • Community Action Coalition has received several
    inquiries about community gardening opportunities
    in Middleton
  • In the Parks and Open Space Plan update, every
    response to the question What other types of
    parks would you like to see? mentioned a
    community garden

Why a Community Garden?
  • Provides a nutritional resource and reduces
    family food budgets
  • Supports neighborhood and community-building
    opportunities including intergenerational and
    cross-cultural connections
  • Encourages self-reliance
  • Conserves resources and promotes sustainability
  • Creates opportunity for recreation, exercise,
    therapy, and education

    (apartments, condominiums, and duplexes)

    direct sunlight per day
