In June, 2021, Waterbury Mutual Aid, with the support of Justice Southbury/Justice Woodbury, installed at Long Hill Bible Church a community garden with 20 raised beds roughly 3 feet square.
We need gardeners, experienced or not
Waterbury Mutual Aid is actively seeking community members interested in participating in a community garden. Anyone in the Waterbury community can participate, regardless of their experience or knowledge of gardening, but this project will benefit greatly from experienced and knowledgeable folks who can help guide our practice.
If you are interested in participating in one of our community gardens, please fill out this form.

We invite members of the community and WMA allies to support this project by attending our work sessions, which occur on alternating Saturdays from 11am-1pm.
