Belfast MaineUnited States
BELFAST In 2019, a small group of Belfast citizens started searching for a suitable location for a community garden that would allow the growing of food by individuals who did not have access to land. A site was selected in the heart of the city that would use an underutilized portion of Wales Park. In 2020, this park, located at the corner of Lincolnville Avenue and Main Street in Belfast, saw a flurry of activity as garden beds and paths were laid out and fencing and a shed went up.
Citizens of Belfast are now invited to apply for one of eight plots to garden in the Wales Park Community Garden in 2021. The winners will be chosen by lottery drawing. A separate drawing for two table-height beds will be held at the same time; these beds will be built in the spring thanks to the generosity of the community, which contributed to this specific project through a crowdsourcing campaign at seedmoney.org.
