Things To Do

The Windham Community Garden’s Mission is to garden following organic practices, provide affordable garden beds for growing healthy food and flowers, support a community of gardeners and help promote a green and sustainable Windham. We strive to provide the services of a safe, beautiful and well-equipped garden facility for our renters; to grow, harvest and distribute high-quality organic produce for those in need; to serve as a community-building and educational resource for all residents.

The market includes vendors selling farm fresh foods and plants, baked goods, and an ever changing selection of artisanal creation.

The Pringle Wildlife Preserve consists of marshy wetlands surrounding Otter Brook, which flows through the length of the property. While there are no formal trails, visitors can enjoy the Observation Platform—an excellent vantage point for viewing birds and diverse wildlife in this natural wetland ecosystem.

• The viewing platform was built by an Eagle Scout and his troop, offering perfect opportunities for birdwatching or stargazing
• Early spring brings ducks and great blue herons to the waterlogged sections
• Hawks can be spotted hunting small mammals in the open field
• Tree swallows flutter over the property in late spring, feeding on insects attracted to wildflowers
• Walking near where the brook passes under Windham Center Road offers possible otter sightings
• Two suspected fox dens have been spotted on the hilltop
• The preserve is located in the homeland of the Wabanaki People—these People of the Dawn and their connection to these lands and waters are respectfully acknowledged
