Attleboro Area Community Garden
 Overview
The Attleboro Area Community Garden is a joint endeavor of the City of
Attleboro and the Attleboro Land Trust. The garden consists of 34
separate plots, each approximately 4 feet by 12 feet in size. The
plots are made available to local residents each year on a first-come,
first-served basis. Gardeners are required to use organic methods,
which means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The Attleboro Land
Trust manages the garden on land provided by the City of Attleboro, which
provides support services including provision of water and compost.
Local merchants have also donated supplies. According to Mark Pechenik,
founder of the garden, "The Attleboro
Area Community Garden enables people from all walks of life to join together
in the simple but community-building hobby of gardening. We cordially
invite those who share this same civic spirit to join us as community
gardeners." Plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
A $10 donation is requested.
