Pierson’s Lane Children’s Garden

History — Built in 2012 in the Pierson’s Lane playground, the Pierson’s Lane Children’s Garden serves as an educational resource for Biddeford’s youth. Staffed by Master Gardener Volunteers, it is a place where children gather to learn about the environment, organic agriculture, and nutrition in a fun and supportive environment. The garden has 11 raised garden beds, which blossom during the growing season with perennial flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

You are welcome to join in on our free children’s programming! Come learn gardening basics with fun hands-on games, crafts and activities that will be adjusted for all age groups.  Formal activities will occur the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, late Spring through early Fall. For maintenance, harvesting, and impromptu activities the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.
