Baxter Community Greenhouse

In November of 2011 the ribbon was cut on the Baxter Community Center Greenhouse, and it has organically (pun intended) become a part of so many aspects of our work.  Be it the Garden to Early Childhood and Beyond programming, our Annual Plant Sale, or the Fresh Produce that the Greenhouse provides for our Marketplace….the Baxter Greenhouse has found its way into the fabric of everything we do here at Baxter.

Gardening & Canning Programs

Start with us in the spring for hands-on gardening programs led by local farmers and urban growers to learn how to master the essentials for a bountiful garden. From vibrant fruits to crisp veggies and fragrant herbs, our programs focus on cultivating an edible oasis, ensuring your kitchen is brimming with fresh, delicious produce. 

Stay with us in the summer and fall to discover the art of preservation with our fall canning programs! Dive into the world of home canning with our hands-on workshops led by local, certified instructors, where you’ll learn the essential techniques and recipes to create delicious, nutritious and shelf-stable cupboard staples that can be enjoyed all year round.

Baxter’s Greenhouse and Canning Programs will run from late April to Mid November. All programs will take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30PM-8PM, unless otherwise stated.
