Welcome to the Garden!
The Canton Community Garden is located behind the Canton Community Center. Gardeners are welcome to visit and tend to their plots anytime between sun up and sun down. Watering spigots are located in the middle and right side walkways, however gardeners must bring their own hoses to hook up. Please review the Canton Community Garden 2023 Policies for more information.
