It will soon be time to spring into action at the Potter County Community Garden. Applications for garden plots will continue to be accepted until all spaces have been claimed. Three new plots have been added, bringing the total to 31 garden beds, with four being raised for handicapped or disability access. Located at 7 Water Street in Coudersport, the Community Garden will open its gates again on April 20 for individuals and groups to use a free garden plot, regardless of income.
Individual and group applications are available at Hershey’s Market, Kaytee’s, Coudersport Public Library, Coudersport Senior Center, UPMC Wellness Center, Coudersport Pediatrics, and the Penn State Extension office in the Gunzburger Building.

- empower the community to plant, grow and harvest their own produce.
- provide education on the value of gardening.
- promote community interaction & unity.
- offer solutions to food insecurity where groceries and healthy eating can be limited.
