Andover Community Garden

Welcome to Andover Community Garden

Located at 265 High Plain Road, Andover, Massachusetts, Andover Community Garden is a vibrant park dedicated to fostering a love for organic gardening within a warm and welcoming community. Our mission is to educate members on sustainable gardening practices while providing opportunities to cultivate vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Our garden plots are open to residents of Andover and neighboring towns who join our Association. Each year, available plots are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to those on our waiting list. Members contribute an annual plot fee to support garden maintenance and agree to follow our community guidelines, which include organic gardening practices and participation in community workdays and cleanups. We offer guidance and lessons to help newcomers adapt to organic gardening.

Once you rent a plot, it becomes your personal space for the gardening season, where you can plant, harvest, and maintain your crops for your family's enjoyment. We also encourage donations, with coolers available for collection. Please help by returning or donating plastic clamshell containers, which can be placed in the wooden bin upon entering the garden.

Our primary garden is situated on the Virginia Hammond Reservation, across from the leaf composting site, and features 65 plots. Parking is available in a small lot, with additional grass parking on workdays.

We also maintain a smaller garden behind the Andover Center for History and Culture at 97 Main Street. This downtown location offers 11 plots of varying sizes. Parking is limited, but spaces are available adjacent to the Center and on the street, with paid parking nearby in the town lot beside UBurger.

We look forward to welcoming you to our community and hope to see you at the garden soon!
