The Garden
Updated 5/13/2026
What's happening in the Garden this season?
We’re excited to share that this season’s garden will be coordinated through the Valley Community Gardens collective.
Garden Days will start on May 21st and will take place on Thursdays from 11:30am–1:00pm, with two scheduled changes on July 16th and September 17th to start at 5:30pm.
Volunteers are needed and always welcome — no experience or tools are needed. Just come ready to dig in and grow with us.
We’ll kick off the season by preparing the beds and creating protective covers to help keep our growing bounty safe from critters!
Follow our Valley Community Gardens Facebook page for the most updated info, weather cancellations, and announcements.
Where is The Garden?
Located directly across from the Seymour Town Library are the Blessing Pantry Garden beds. A joint project by the Valley United Way and Trinity placed 12 raised beds for the 2019 growing season at the top of a beautiful open hill that is accessible from Trinity's parking lot.
How does this benefit our neighbors?
Our garden welcomes neighbors to come and harvest what is ripe, while also offering a shared space to visit, tend, nurture, and help sustain—growing not just food, but connection and care for the land and one another.
What's ready for picking?
Check back in late spring to see what's growing or follow us on Facebook.
If you're interested in volunteering (It's a great way for high-schoolers to earn community hours) just contact the church at 203-888-6596 or send us an email.
Even if you don't feel like harvesting veggies, the hill has a beautiful view overlooking downtown Seymour. Whether it's a spring field full of buttercups, or the brilliant colors of fall foliage, it's a nice place for a walk or to sit a spell and enjoy the scenery!
