Founded in 2016, growing food in our own community is a key part of our Farm’s mission. The Community Garden has grown incrementally each year from 40 to 125 garden beds of varying sizes including the installation of a children’s greenhouse, expanding the fairy and butterfly gardens, adding a public exploration garden, and most recently, a pollinator garden, named Pauline's Pollinator Habitat.

People of all backgrounds and gardening experiences come to learn, and teach others about growing food, and gather to share recipes, seeds, vegetables and to enjoy the beauty of the garden and landscape around. Our gardeners represent individuals, families, and organizations such as CREATE Community Studios, Saratoga Pride, LifeWorks Community Action, Unlimited Potential, Saratoga Senior Center, MLK Saratoga & The Frederick Allen Lodge #609 and AIM Services

If your organization or group is interested in a garden bed, please email our Garden Manager directly at melissa.spiegel@pitneymeadows.org

Garden beds come in a few different sizes, including some that are easily accessible for gardeners with limited mobility. In 2024, we furthered our commitment to accessibility by expanding our public workshop offerings, partnering with new organizations, and building two additional garden beds designed to welcome gardeners of all abilities with thoughtful accommodations.

We are currently closed for the 2025 season and will begin registration for returning gardeners in the new year. Starting in March, we will begin opening up beds to new, interested gardeners through our waitlist.  

If you are interested in a future garden bed, place your name on our waitlist below, and you will be informed via email as soon as there is availability. 

The Community Garden is managed using organic growing practices. We offer gardeners various seeds throughout the season, compost and access to water and tools. Experienced staff are available to help gardeners grow successfully. All levels of experience are welcome - from beginner to lifelong gardeners!

At Pitney Meadows Community Garden, we foster an ecosystem that is kind and respectful to all people, plants, pollinators, fungi, and other creatures, and invite you all to do the same. We are committed to creating an inclusive, bountiful, and well-nourished garden through collective stewardship of the gardens, and surrounding land, growing within an organic gardening practice, offering educational resources and more.
