WELCOME 2026!
With our garden in the process of being relocated to Adelaide Street (facing Central Avenue),
we are opening sign-up for beds in the Riverside Community Garden for the 2026 growing season.
We will soon be scheduling a work day to fine-tune our plans for the new site,
fill the raised beds with new soil, and start planting! (We'll keep you posted!)
Download our registration forms and garden guidelines, or contact us
to make arrangements to meet at the garden.
Feel free to email info@riversidecommunitygarden.org,
or call or text Ronna at 860-772-8439 for more information.
