Ovid Community Garden 

Lodi Community Garden

The Ovid Community Garden, located just north of South Seneca Central School in Ovid, is entering its third gardening season.


All twenty-one (21)raised beds have been rented to fifteen (15) different individual gardeners or groups.  We have several youth gardeners this year including an after-school garden club from South Seneca and a girl scout troop.  A SSCS recent graduate, now attending Cornell, will be planting an Ethnobotany garden.  Ethnobotany  is the study of a region's plants and their practical uses through the traditional knowledge of a local culture and people.


We have several exciting garden projects planned for 2019.  One of the gardeners has offered to design and build a brick walkway for our flower garden.  A generous community member, who wishes to remain anonymous, donated the funds to install a permanent shade arbor over our seating area in a corner of the flower garden.  Ben Frey, of Frey Excavating will be building the shade arbor. The Ovid-Willard Lions Club is designing and building a roofed information kiosk with a bulletin board, permanent signage for the garden, and shelving to offer excess produce as a small free farm stand. The STEPS Project (Seneca Towns Engaging People for Solutions) is providing peat moss, compost, and other basic essentials.
