The Victory Garden
Learn more about it here: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/fenway-victory-gardens
The Hampton Victory Garden is located on Barbour Rd. In 1991, the Conservation Commission finalized the purchase of a 33- acres parcel owned by Leston Perkins. Mr. Perkins had used the property as a chicken farm. In 1992, with the help of many townspeople, including students of Hampton Academy and Winnacunnet High School, and volunteers from the Fire Department, the water and fencing were installed and Victory Garden was officially established. It's worth noting that this is the second location for the Victory Garden. It was once located on a parcel situated behind the former Hampton Cooperative Bank parking lot.

Dick Gardener
On August 30th we left our work clothes at home and joined together for a pot luck supper and to say good bye to a long time gardener and friend Dick Gardner who has been instrumental in the development of the community garden since its inspection in the early 1990's. Not only has Dick taken care of most maintenance issues throughout the years but he has always been the go to guy for other gardeners with agricultural issues. He has generously shared his wealth of knowledge with many and could be seen sitting in his chair at the back of the garden long after the frost had set in. Dicks philosophy was that if he could open the garden gate ( snow) he could garden. We will all miss him and wish him and Anne all the best in their new home in Hudson MA.
