Why Donate to Us?
Picture friends and families coming together at picnic tables, children exploring paths among plots of vegetables and flowers grown from seed; and gardeners sharing stories and freshly harvested food over a pot luck meal. These activities embody the essence of Green Commons of Vermont – preserving and protecting open green spaces to foster a thriving interconnected community.
Imagine waking up to the lively atmosphere of a farmers market and the serenity of a flourishing community garden right outside your door. This is the inspiring vision we have for The Putney Common: a verdant community space adjacent to Windham & Windsor’s upcoming housing site.
Green Commons of Vermont has forged a collaborative relationship with Windham & Windsor Housing Trust to introduce affordable housing to Putney while preserving the essence of the Farmers Market and Community Garden.
