Visiting The Ranson Community Gardens

The other day, I was in Ranson, West Virginia, and remembered the Ranson Community Gardens, and we poked around to find them. It is behind the local community center, on the edge of town.

This past week they had hosted an open house for the new Herb Garden they had put in, but I’ll be honest…going to an early evening event in 90* temps and a crowd is a turn off. So seeing it in the morning was a bonus.

Ranson Community Gardens. There are parking spots in front, with picnic tables to the left and in the shade.
I loved these raised beds, made of fabric and metal. This one was growing beautifully.
It’s lovely when people work hard at their spot.
Lots of vibrancy.
While not a fancy community garden, there is a heart in it.
Each person leaves their own mark.
The use of old trees, for example.
The garden also has a large sized greenhouse, where the herb garden was planted.

Visiting community gardens and P Patches is a good thing. It can inspire you, give you ideas, and help understand a community.
