Welcome to the Raspberry Hill Community Garden.

We are a group of passionate garden and sustainable-living enthusiasts in the small rural hilltown of Plainfield, Massachusetts. We have established a relationship with our local Franklin Land Trust to use some of their pristine farm land for a community garden. This land, also known as the Guyette Farm, was gifted to the Franklin Land Trust by Evelyn Guyette. We seek to create a beautiful and functional agricultural space for community members to use and enjoy, as a continuation of the long farming history of the land by the Guyette family. The Raspberry Hill Community Garden prepared the ground in 2011 and established community garden plots in the spring of 2012. We currently have about 20 full and 1/2 size plots.

We hope you will enjoy learning about our garden and the things we do for our community. Please visit our web site often for information on garden projects, public workshops, recipes, and to find out what's growing in the garden.
