The Franklin Community Garden Committee is proud to announce that the Grand Opening Day of Franklin's first community garden will take place this Saturday, May 28th at King Street Memorial Park located off King Street in Franklin. A ribbon-cutting will be held at 9:00 a.m.
A fundraiser plant sale is planned as well featuring locally grown vegetable starts.
Plots were assigned through a lottery drawing and winners have been notified. A wait list has been established as well.
Gardeners who have paid the lease fee may begin working in their plots on Opening Day.
Lease payments are due by June 7th and will be collected by Franklin Recreation. Gardening can not begin until the $40 fee has been paid. Payments can be made at the Recreation Department at 150 Emmons Street (Old Town Hall). The hours are Mon, Tues, and Thurs 8:30-4:30; Wed 8:30-6:30pm, and Fridays 8:30-1:30 pm.

Many of the gardeners will be participating the Franklin's Plant A Row to Share program.
