Plant-A-Patch |

Calling all green thumbs!
For more than 28 years, Cherry Hill Township has sponsored Plant-A-Patch, a community gardening program at the Barclay Farmstead. Each season (April - October), more than 100 gardeners maintain and harvest their own garden plots on original farm fields. The program also features a free lecture series and the annual Harvest Dinner, held each August.
The fee for a standard 25 x 25 foot patch is $20.00/year. The Township provides water hook-ups and free mulch. Gardeners are responsible for maintaining their individual plots, as outlined in the Plant-A-Patch Memo of Understanding, received upon registration.
For more information, or to add your name to our 2009 Plant-A-Patch Waiting List, please call the Farmstead at (856) 795-6225 or contact info@barclayfarmstead.org.
