History

• Cary Senior Center gardens began in 2002 as a Boy Scout initiative. Town of Cary costs were minimal, as the volunteers collected donations and did much of the work. Currently we feature 7 large beds, 24 medium beds and 10 small beds.

• Many of the supplies used to build the garden (stones for garden bed outlines) have been re-used, recycled, and re-purposed! Visitors to the garden can see bricks saved from the landfill and used for garden bed outlines and edging pathways, old bed frames used as trellises, and garden implements of all types and even posts and gates made into a grape arbor.

• Cary supplies water, water hoses and volunteer support from Spruce and other groups.
