Community Garden

Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land and run by volunteers who cultivate food, flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Sometimes fenced and locked or threatened by development, but generally open to all participants, raising the quality of life in the community, and improving habitat, air and soil quality at the same time. Some gardens serve a specific need such as supplying produce for local Food Banks.

Brian's Food Bank Garden

Before he passed away in 2019, Brian Glaspell cultivated this garden for many years, donating the majority of the produce to the PT Food Bank, usually about 5,000 pounds per year. In 2021, Jeanie (his wife) was very happy to discover the Food Bank Growers organization and host the return of the garden's ability to provide for the food bank. Now, Aaron (Brian's son), Brianna and their three girls live at the Glaspell Farm and carry this tradition on.
