<\/a>About the Demonstration Garden at Rogers Farm\"Sunrise<\/h3>\n

Since 1994, the demonstration garden at Rogers Farm has been a showcase for creative theme gardens, unique plant varieties, innovative designs, and prolific vegetable gardens. Rogers Farm is part of the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station at the state\u2019s R1 public research university.<\/p>\n

Volunteers and strong community partnerships are the core of our work. We are tremendously grateful for all we’re able to accomplish thanks to our dedicated team.<\/p>\n

Mission\/Vision\/Values<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mission: To educate our visitors in sustainable horticultural practices and empower them through service learning opportunities which strengthen our local food system.<\/p>\n

Vision: We envision a vibrant, inclusive center of learning that helps gardeners of every skill level connect to the natural world and make positive changes within their communities.<\/p>\n

Values: We recognize that the land we occupy is unceded Wabanaki territory. Within this difficult context we strive to create a space that is as welcoming and supportive as possible. We are dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility.<\/p>\n

Accessibility\"Open<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rogers Farm Demonstration Garden strives to be welcoming and accessible to all visitors. An ADA-compliant portable toilet is available on site May-October and many areas of the garden are accessible by vehicle. Please note that vehicle access is not available during winter months and may be limited when we have periodic wet ground conditions. We encourage visitors to contact us in advance to confirm current drive-through access and the ability to park closer to specific areas of the garden. Benches are placed throughout the garden, with seating offered approximately every 250 feet. Our picnic tables under the shade structure are designed for wheelchair access.<\/p>\n
