About The Monmouth Community Garden

The Monmouth Community Garden was formed in 2015 by Bob Mulliken and a few other local green-thumbs who were searching for the perfect spot to grow veggies. Now, as we start our 8th season in 2022, his project continues to flourish. The garden is located on the sunny and fertile front lawn of the Bates complex that houses Maine Heritage Weavers & the Bates Mill Store. In addition to the land for the garden, they have also generously supplied the water (there are several hoses located on-site!) and seasonal rototilling each year. The garden is composed of twenty 10’x20’ plots that are available for seasonal rental. Several of our gardeners have been returning since our first season in 2015. Since we are a community, each member is asked to partake in the general upkeep of the garden by choosing from a task-list each season.
