Join us for the “Grand Opening” and “Open House” of the Picone Farm Conservation Land and Community Gardens! This event will be on Sunday, Sept 29 at 10am (rain date Oct. 6). You can learn about the property along with the gardens and take a walk on some of the trails. Afterwards, you will be free to walk the property, or you can take the guided hike at 10:30am through the garden and some of the trails on the property. This includes the trails that connect to Peter Oliver Conservation Land. The hike will likely last around one hour.
The entrance for the property is located next to 415 Plymouth Street. There is a parking area near the community gardens and a trail map posted on signage.
