(Formerly Intervale Garden)

Tommy Thompson Community Garden – Organic Gardening Only- Located in Burlington's Intervale just down the road from Intervale Compost, Tommy Thompson has 150 plots. The site is equipped with 3 tool sheds, water, compost piles, and an open pole barn providing a central meeting place and shady picnic area.

The garden is named for Tommy Thompson, who began the community garden initiative in the Burlington Area in the early 70's. Tommy worked for Gardens for All, the non-profit arm of Garden Way, a company founded by Lyman Wood to market innovative tillers and garden carts.

New in 2008, this site now has a natural no-till area where gardeners can extend their season by resuming responsibility for turning the soil over.  Gardeners interested in a natural no-till site should note this request on the registration form.
