New Compost Units Built for Community Garden

In October 2020, Plymouth Eagle Scout candidate Zach Lyons constructed two, new compost holding units for Wildlands’ community garden at Davis-Douglas Farm. Prior to Zach’s help, there was a single-cylinder compost bin at the garden that was only accessible from above, making it difficult to turn. The new containers, built using lumber and wire mesh, are able to be accessed from the top and side of the unit, making it easier to work the compost. Each unit is also made up of two bays, allowing for the compost to be divided by how far along in composition it is.

We look forward to putting these structures to good use during the 2021 gardening season, and having a more productive composting system in place for our community gardeners. Thank you to Lowes in Wareham for donating the lumber used, and to Zach for his hard work! 

Community Garden 2.0

We want your input!

Wildlands Trust hosted a fun and successful Community Garden at our Duxbury office, and we would like to bring the same thing with us here in Plymouth.  We are currently working hard to ensure our garden plans are top-notch and fit community needs.  

We are asking all our supporters who are interested in having a garden plot or participating in our gardening programs to fill out a survey to make sure we are providing the type of garden you want and the programs that interest you.

Surveys will be accepted through the month of January.  If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the project, please email us at stewarship@wildlandstrust.org.
