In the last few years, the Lakefront Porch Committee and partners in the community and the City of Madison have been hard at work planning and then implementing the installation of the new Lakefront Porch pocket park on the Crowley Station platform.

Because the disruption of Covid-19 was followed by the uncertainties of planning such a large project, the last few garden seasons for the Crowley Station Community Garden have also experienced uncertainty. Now, with construction of the Lakefront Porch Park well underway and the generous gift of new garden beds, the beginning of the 2024 CSCG garden season seems to be in sight!

As usual, there are more households on the waitlist than there are garden beds at CSCG! We are delighted at the interest in CSCG, and we urge anyone with the desire to garden to sign up for the waitlist for the other (larger) community gardens in Madison. There are also opportunities for “dirt therapy” with the wonderful volunteers of Blair Street Gardens.

Within the next month or so, we plan to recruit a few more gardeners from the waitlist. We will post information on the website when all garden beds have been filled for the season.
