Cape Elizabeth Community Gardens
Cape Elizabeth has two Community Garden locations with a total of 90 plots. The gardens are located next to the Gull Crest fields and at Maxwell’s Farm on Spurwink Avenue.
Gardeners use organic methods, and in addition to tending their own plots, spend additional hours during the season on general garden duties.
In each garden, vegetables are grown in several plots for the Maine Harvest for Hunger program. Produce goes to Judy's Pantry, serving Cape residents with limited resources, and named in memory of Judy Simonds, one of the garden founders.
Registration for 2024 is closed.
There is currently a waiting list. If you are interested in a garden plot, please send your contact information and garden location preference, if you have one, to smok77@maine.rr.com.
