Community Roots
Local community members came together to establish our nonprofit, Green Commons of Vermont (“GCVT”), dedicated to fostering community bonds and securing the future of the garden and market as vital hubs for building connections
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.
