Community Garden

Brockton's Community Garden started in 2012 as a project of Brockton's Environmental Advisory Committee.

The garden is located on vacant municipal land north of the Walkerton Fire Hall, and can be accessed from the east end of Jane Street behind the Fire Hall. 

Plots and Fees

There are twenty-two (22) raised bed plots that measure 10 feet by 10 feet square.

Annual plot rental is $30 for one plot and $45 for two plots. 

Reserving Plots

Some gardeners return year to year, but there are always some plots that come available each spring. To inquire about availability, please contact our volunteer Community Garden Contact.

There are two plots available for the 2018 season. Please contact Jenny Iserman directly if you wish to reserve a plot.

Barrier Free Community Garden Project

Phase 1

On Saturday, November 3, 2018 volunteers installed Ecoraster pavers at the Community Garden to create a level entrance and a level area to install accessible garden beds in the future.

Ecoraster pavers are a permeable ground stabilizing / paving solution that allows for natural drainage without producing harmful runoff. First the area was leveled with an excavator and the addition of a gravel layer. The Ecoraster was clipped together and installed and then a layer of pea gravel was raked into the Ecoraster pavers to create a level, permeable surface.
