Dear Bluffton Community, 

We regret to inform you that the scheduled opening of the Bluffton Community Pool will be delayed.  The delay is due to a variety of conditions, that include limitations presented by spring weather, while performing over $120,000 of renovations to the pool bottom and piping infrastructure that were started over 5 weeks ago.

MAY 9 FACEBOOK__Bluffton's Community Garden has just 3 large plots and 4 raised bed plots left for the 2025 season.

If you've ever wanted to grow some big sprawling watermelon, or pumpkin vines, or maybe you've wanted to grow a large batch of tomatoes & peppers for canning, or an even bigger batch flowers for lots of flower arrangements, then renting a plot at the Community Garden may be the solution.

Contact us if you want to garden in a full sun location. When they are booked, that's it until 2026.
