Warren County Conservation District Community Gardens

Written by Shannon Wehinger on July 24, 2025. Posted in Conservation District Project Spotlight

The Warren County Conservation District established a community garden in 2008 at the Hatch Run Conservation Demonstration Area in Warren, PA. The gardens had only 10 plots in 2008 and have now expanded to 25 plots. The gardens offer a place for folks who don’t have the space at their home or apartment to have a garden of their own.

The district’s property maintenance staff rototills the gardens each year with a tractor, and then each plot owner is responsible for maintaining their own plot. The conservation district has installed rain barrels among the gardens to provide a water source for gardeners

The conservation district charges $25 for each plot to offset the costs of materials for the layout and preparation of the 25’ x 25’ garden plots.

Plots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to previous renters for plot locations. Click here for more details.
