An organic community garden for
residents of Barrington, RI

Plot Registration for 2025

Returning lessees: Monday, March 3, through Sunday, March 16

New lessees: Monday, March 17 through Sunday, April 6 

Garden lessees maintain the common areas of the garden, working in a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. We are an all-volunteer garden and it requires all of us to maintain its upkeep.

Accordingly, each lessee is required to work three (3) hours towards the care and maintenance of common areas as well as keep the north and east pathways of their plot relatively weed-free and well-covered with wood chips. 

Free resources from URI

Download the updated URI Planting Calendar. This table lists the planting time and days till harvest by vegetable and is a great resource.  

URI Hotline: ​The URI Gardening and Environmental Hotline is staffed by trained URI Master Gardeners to help you identify plants and troubleshoot problems in the garden. Snap a photo with your smartphone and send it to [email protected], or call (401) 874-4836 to speak to someone directly. 

Learn about the solar-powered well

The Barrington Community Garden uses a solar-powered well for its water supply. You can read more about how this exciting project came to be. 

Connect with us Facebook! 

Barrington Community Garden has a private Facebook page for current lessees? This is a great place to post photos, ask questions (What is this weird bug on my squash), ask others for favors (Can anyone water my plot while I'm out of town), and more. ​
