WPCA Community Garden
“We might think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it’s our garden that is really nurturing us.” – Jenny Uglow
The idea of creating a community garden in the ball field on Winston Ave. was presented at the 2024 annual meeting, and it received a fair amount of interest from those in attendance. The garden would be funded only by those interested in having a plot, and it would occupy a small piece of the ball field, allowing ample room for those who utilize the ball field for dog walking and other activities.
At the earliest, groundbreaking for the community garden would happen spring of 2026. Right now we're developing a list of neighbors who are interested in learning more and having a plot.

Community Garden Benefits
Community gardens have many benefits and their popularity has been increasing across Cape Cod.
help reconnect our residents to nature
build a stronger community
improve wellness and decrease stress
provide residents with high quality produce
Potential Location
The community garden could be located in the field off Winston Ave.
There’s ample space in the field for a garden, while leaving room for dog walking, ball playing and other field usage.
Estimated Expenses
Community gardens are inexpensive to operate. The largest expense would be to supply the garden with water. The water department estimated it would cost around $4,000 to tap into existing water lines.
Other expenses could include an onsite shed for housing supplies, fencing and raised beds. Garden expenses would need to be paid by those who participate in the community garden.
The deadline to apply for a WPCA community garden plot will be January 10th, 2026.
These garden rules have been adapted from the Valley Bars Community Garden in Pocasset.
With help from volunteers, the WPCA garden will grow better each year through all our efforts.
If things progress according to plan, then the groundbreaking for the garden will happen on April 18th, 2026.
