Welcome to Day 2 of National Garden Week and our visit to the Brookfield Community Garden<\/strong> at Gurski Farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brookfield Lions Club runs the Community Gardens at Gurski Farm with 106 plots. Residents can rent one for the season; the fee is $25 for a small plot and $35 for a large plot. Over the years, the Lions Club has made improvements like water spigots and hoses at the bottom, middle and top of the garden, new fencing and a large shed with tools and equipment available to everyone with a plot. There are two picnic tables for gardeners\u2019 use. During the harvest season you will see gardeners picnic together to share crops and farming advice. There are also two plots set aside for the community to share which usually have herbs and flowers.\u00a0In the gardens you can find rhubarb, pumpkins, garlic, squash asparagus, peas, beans, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and onions. The vegetable harvest is wonderful! What may even top the harvest is the friendships you can make with the other community gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy National Garden Week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
