Donate to the Gardens

We are self-sustained by annual fees, occasional grants, volunteerism and donations. Thanks to The Killingworth Foundation, you may make a tax deductible contribution to help us continue and expand on our mission.

The Killingworth Community Gardens' mission is to provide residents with an opportunity to come together for the purpose of food production, environmental education and to encourage multi-generational gatherings. Individuals and groups at all levels of gardening expertise are welcome. Planning for the gardens started in early summer 2007. They opened in the spring of 2008 and expanded in 2009.

The gardens are located at Parmelee Farm, 465 Route 81 (map), just north of the HK Middle School. The 133-acre town-owned property is open to the public for passive recreation. The 19th century farmhouse as well as most the out buildings are not open at this time. The small shed adjacent to the front garden is available for storage. Parking is available in front of the farmhouse as well as in front of the gardens.

The Community Gardens are administered by the Town Municipal Land Use Committee. The MLUC meets once a month at the Town Office building at 323 Route 81.
