Hodge Podge Community Garden
Community gardens have come to Bridgewater! They are located at the corner of Aberdeen & Elm, which is the location of the old Visitors Information Centre. The gardens are a joint project between the Town of Bridgewater and community members.
Hodge Podge Gardens is a place for citizens to have their own garden in a public space. It is a place to grow food and flowers, learn skills, meet new friends, exercise, get fresh air, and enjoy a natural space.
There are 20 raised beds at the garden, with some room to expand in the future. All 20 beds are now in use, and have been assigned to individuals, families and community groups. If you would like to garden here in the future, please contact us.
This garden has become a reality due to the generous support of citizen volunteers, the Town, and local businesses. Thank-you!

Parks, Recreation, and Culture
The Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission establishes and reviews policies which govern the direction of the Parks, Recreation & Culture Department. The implementation of the policy is delegated to the Parks, Recreation and Culture Director through the Town’s administration, of which all staff are a part.
The department offers a well-rounded collection of programs for the citizens of Bridgewater. Programs are developed based on needs that have been identified by the public, or specific issues that have become relevant in the community.
