The Freehold Community Garden strives to develop a community of citizens who work together to create a successful community garden and improve their community and beyond. The garden provides the opportunity for participants to grow their own fresh produce, as well as produce that will be donated to local organizations and individuals in need. The garden also provides educational opportunities for all ages to learn about gardening, sustainability, and wellness.

Plots are assigned annually on a first come - first serve system based on previous years’ participation. Freehold Borough residents will be given first preference. If no plots are available, the Garden Committee will keep a waiting list and will notify interested parties as space becomes available. Full-size plots will be about 100’ square. Raised plots will be about 48’ square.  Open daily from Dawn – Dusk. Communal plots are intended to be worked and shared among gardeners. PAR (Plant a Row) gardens are intended to grow produce to be harvested for donation to local food banks. Communication and updates as needed via email and/or posting on the bulletin board in the Community Garden.
