Community Garden Park

The Pierson Township Parks & Recreation Committee has plans to begin development of the quarter acre of land behind the Township Hall for a Community Garden Park.  Volunteers will be needed to build raised garden beds, build bean-pole tee-pees and create fun and interactive items or the garden area.  

​

The maze created or the Fall Festival last year will become a mulched walking trail in the adjacent land slated for future cemetery growth. Click here for the aerial shot from last year. Some modifications will be made this year - watch for more!
