History:

The Robert M. Kubecka Memorial Organic Garden is a 15 acre property located on Dunlop Rd in Huntington, just west of the Dunlop Rd & Greenlawn Rd intersection. Established in 1972, the garden  offers more than 400 families the opportunity to rent a garden plot to grow vegetables, flowers, shrubs or ornamental grasses without the use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or chemical fertilizers. To find out more about the program please use the additional links in the right column.

A landscaped entranceway on Dunlop Road provides the only access to this secluded, environmental haven. A gravel access road runs through the property, dividing the 15-acre site into three areas for gardening. In addition to these three gardening location the site contains several vernal ponds, densely covered with oak and maple trees. These areas provide natural habitats for a wild variety of wildlife. The garden is managed by two different Departments in the Town of Huntington. The Department of Environmental Waste Management handles the assignment of garden plots and the annual renewals of current gardeners. The Department of General Services handles all maintenance issues with the Garden.
