Community Garden Partnership Announcement

Growing Together
Valley Mountains Library is proud to announce a partnership with the Maplewood Garden Club to establish a community garden on the library grounds. The garden will be located in the sunny area behind the building and is expected to open for its first growing season in late May 2026.
What We're Planning
- 12 raised beds available for community members (first come, first served)
- A dedicated pollinator garden maintained by the Garden Club
- A children's garden plot for our summer programs
- A seed library inside the building (launching in April)
Get Involved
We are looking for volunteers to help with initial setup — building raised beds, preparing soil, and installing a rain barrel system. Our first planning meeting is Saturday, April 11 at 10:00 AM in the Community Room.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or have never grown a thing, we'd love your help. Contact Lisa Park at lisa@valleymountainslibrary.org for more information.
