News: Registration starts on Monday, February 2, 2026 for returning gardeners and runs through Friday, February 27.  We give all returning gardeners a chance to renew their garden bed for the following season.  Once we know who is returning to their garden bed from the previous season, we open the remaining garden beds to those from the wait list.  If you are new to the Community Garden, make sure you get on the wait list on February 2nd and you will be added in the order we receive your wait list request.  https://franklinma.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=29875

This site serves as a resource for news and information for community gardens in Franklin, Massachusetts.
Franklin's very first community garden was completed in the spring of 2011 and every single bed was leased. A wait list became necessary. King Street Memorial Community Garden is located at 740 King Street at King Street Memorial Park. There are currently 62 raised beds, individually leased. Adding more gardens in more locations is currently on the agenda for the community garden committee.

These documents are all from the 2025 season.  Our 2026 documents will be updated after registration is complete in March.

The garden is managed by the volunteers that purchase annual plots under the direction of the Franklin Recreation Department. If you are interested in a role as the community garden liaison, please don't hesitate to contact Ryan Jette, Recreation Director via email or call 508-613-1667.
