Gather & Grow Tour: Gorham Middle School Gardens - Jul 2026
📅 15 July 2026
Join MOFGA and the Maine School Garden Network (MSGN) for a tour of the Gorham Middle School gardens! This tour is a part of MSGN’s Summer School Garden Tour series, as well as MOFGA’s Gather & Grow Tour series.
About the gardens:
Students and community volunteers grow a bounty of fresh vegetables, herbs, flowers, and berries at the Gorham Middle School garden. The garden project began in 2003, and has been an interdisciplinary service-learning site since. Each year, over 1,000 pounds of produce is harvested from the garden and donated to the Gorham Food Pantry. Students are involved in all aspects of the garden — from planting and garden maintenance to composting and pest management!
Pre-registration is not required. Simply join us at 10:00 at 106 Weeks Rd, Gorham, ME.

This tour is made possible with support from the Davis Conservation Foundation and the Elmina B. Sewall Foundation.
