St. Michaels Community Garden

Picture
St. Michaels Community Center utilizes a garden plot to help address hunger in our community. This year our garden is being cared for by SMCC Executive Chef Kerri Clear, along with Betsi Shays and her mentee Brie, shown here. Other gardeners are also encouraged to donate any excess in produce from their garden plots to help SMCC feed our neighbors in need.

HISTORY OF THE ST. MICHAELS COMMUNITY GARDEN
The St. Michaels Community Garden began in 2012 on land leased through the Town of St. Michaels and with support of an Eagle Scout project, and is located between Fremont and Conner Streets. The garden has also received support from numerous organizations, including the St. Michaels Rotary Club, and the Waterboyz for Jesus.
​
Please Note: All 2023 beds are now reserved.
The St. Michaels Community Center serves as fiscal agent for the community garden, with the $5 per year/per bed rental fee and other donations helping to maintain the property year-round.
 
The garden includes 40, 4-foot by 14-foot beds rented on a yearly basis. A dedicated group of community members maintains paths, raised beds, and shared equipment, while always recruiting new volunteers.

​The community garden provides water, hoses, and gardening tools, with participants including St. Michaels in Bloom and Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers, among other groups and individuals.

One of the garden plots is used by SMCC staff and volunteers to supplement our Food Pantry and Community Café programs. This year our garden is being cared for by SMCC Executive Chef Kerri Clear, along with volunteers Betsi Shays and her mentee Brie.


Other gardeners are encouraged to donate any excess produce from their garden plots to help SMCC feed our neighbors in need. ​For more information, please email SMCC Executive Chef Kerri Clear here. 
 
The St. Michaels Community Center promotes and provides quality activities and services contributing to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the community. SMCC is dedicated to filling the unmet needs of the Bay Hundred and St. Michaels communities by providing supervised program opportunities for the enrichment of children and teens; activities and services for adults and senior citizens; and affordable recreational, social, and educational activities to community residents of all ages, regardless of ethnicity, gender or economic status.
 
Donations to SMCC and proceeds from the Treasure Cove Thrift Shop in St. Michaels, Md. help the nonprofit provide year-round programs, services, and community events for people from throughout the Bay Hundred area.
