Tommy Thompson Community Garden

Known For
Midsummer plot rows bursting with color in every direction
Tommy Thompson Community Garden is one of Burlington's genuinely great-for-photos open spaces — rows of tended plots create a patchwork landscape that feels surprisingly moving in full bloom. It's a local favorite that operates on its own quiet schedule.
🕐Best time to visit: July mornings when gardeners are tending and light is soft
Our Take
Tommy Thompson Community Garden is a genuine neighborhood treasure — the kind of place that Burlington locals walk through regularly without fully registering how photogenic it actually is. With only 26 reviews it's flying well under the radar, which for a hidden-gem category is almost the point.
