The Hammonton Community Garden was established in 2015 with help from the Town of Hammonton, Atlanticare, and many other generous donations and with volunteer assistance from many.
The garden is located at 11th and Washington Streets, by the NJ Transit train station parking lot.
Garden plots are available for a rental fee of $20 each per season. Each raised bed is 12 feet long by 4 feet wide.
During the gardening season (April – November) we schedule monthly Community Workdays, to meet fellow gardeners and beautify our shared garden space!
All Community Garden members (new & returning) must attend a Garden 101 session. If you are a new gardener and have not attended a session, please email us.
