Fort Laramie Community Garden

Students at Planting Roots Preschool (see listing below) plant vegetable and flower seeds each spring at their school, and help care for seedlings until they are big enough to transplant into raised beds at the geodome adjacent to Fort Laramie Town Hall. The 22-foot-diameter dome and adjacent raised beds serve as the Fort Laramie Community Garden, allowing preschoolers, older students, and residents to grow and harvest fresh produce throughout the growing season.

Some of the flower starts (including pollinators) grown by the preschoolers at the FLCG are transplanted into the Fort Laramie Memorial Park. Volunteers have planted cherry trees near the community garden.
