Welcome to our Community Learning Garden

Our community garden was originally created in 2021 to be a space for our community to come out and learn the in's and out's of home gardening! 

We're pleased to announce, with the help of some of our community members, we've officially created The Rancocas Gardening Club! Over the last two years, we've slowly recruited interested members to join us in spreading our roots and continue maintaining and growing our space. 

The Rancocas Garden Club seeks to create community-focused gardens throughout the Village of Shops at Rancocas Woods that focus on conservation, collaborative engagement, and education. Our goal is to inform the public about ethical gardening practices and the importance of biodiversity within the natural world. We will create examples of small-scale, regenerative native and vegetable gardens that enhance the ecosystem and support pollinators. 

Our mission is to bring accessible, sustainable learning to people of all ages within our community.
