Community GroundWorks @ Troy Gardens

Plant a Vegetable Garden this FallCommunity GroundWorks at Troy Gardens has launched a new vegetable garden installation business to bring the values and vegetables of Troy Farm to homes and businesses in Madison. Madison FarmWorks will design, install and maintain an organic vegetable garden of any size in your yard. We provide crop harvest and delivery to your doorstep as well as a monthly newsletter filled with stories from the gardens, harvest tips and information about the local and national organic movement.

If you would like to create and maintain your own garden, we offer professional instruction and consultation specific to your goals. We can help you with site analysis, design ideas, monthly consultations, written instructions, planting schedules, and personalized instruction on a variety of topics.

It’s not too late to plant a fall garden! There is still time for fall successions of some of the cooler weather vegetables such as beets, garlic, cilantro, salad greens, spinach and kohlrabi. We can also install your garden beds this fall to help you get a head start on next spring.

Join the urban organic agriculture movement by growing vegetables, herbs and flowers in your backyard! Contact megan@troygardens.org or troygardens.org for more information and a free site visit.
