Due to the pandemic and the closures going on in Lawrence and Far Rockaway Village security will be patrolling the boardwalk and beaches. Beach passes will be required when on the beach.

Volunteer

The Village Garden welcomes the involvement of everyone in the community. Regardless of experience or ability, there is a role for everyone to play. All we need is your enthusiasm and willingness to help in any way you can.

Our goal is to bring neighbors with gardening knowledge to share together with those who either want to learn more or give their time to a worthwhile endeavor.

Volunteers are invited to planning meetings, garden prep days, and weekly work sessions as listed in the calendar. Children and grandchildren of residents under the age of 12 (with an accompanying adult) are invited to learn about growing plants while tending a designated garden bed during scheduled sessions.

We are also looking for speakers to give educational presentations to garden participants. If you or someone you know has any expertise to share on a topic related to organic gardening or raising a particular edible crop, please contact us.

Village Garden Update

While we had hoped to open The Village Garden to wider participation during our second season, the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow us to invite volunteers, nor host many of the events we had planned. Despite these restrictions, our dedicated steering committee managed to establish a beautiful and bountiful community garden.

What Are The Benefits?

Although most of us are lucky enough to have the yard space to plant a vegetable, herb, or flower garden, a shared project offers many benefits.

What are this year’s plans?

While it’s our first season in the garden, we’ve got big plans.

Let’s get growing

With your involvement the possibilities are endless.
