Community Garden

In 2019, the United Way constructed and planted a community garden (raised beds) in the area behind The Good Stuff Thrift Store. As the season wound down, there was a bounty of produce -- from strawberries to lettuce, tomatoes and even eggplant -- for the harvest and use of Shelton residents.

Here are some "Before" images taken in mid-April 2019 following a massive clean-up by volunteers for United Way.

At the end of April, all the raised beds and soil were on-site.

May: Seedling plants are in.

By the end of June, there was significant growth, and an attractive fence and seating area were added.

Early August, and some items are ready for harvest!
