Find Chittenden County, VT Homes for Sale with a Garden

The growing season here is short and the soil in the Champlain valley is good, which is why so much of the county gardens seriously. In Burlington and Winooski that means small plots, raised beds and shared community garden space. In South Burlington, Essex and Shelburne it means established perennial beds and mature trees on postwar lots. Out in Charlotte, Hinesburg and Huntington it means real growing ground, sometimes with orchard or market garden history behind it. Greentree Real Estate can tell you what is established.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the garden flag cover?

It is the listing feature field, so it covers anything the agent recorded, from established perennial beds to a vegetable plot, raised beds or a landscaped yard.

How long is the growing season?

Roughly late May through late September in the valley, shorter in the hill towns, with the lake moderating frost dates along the shore.

What should be checked?

Grading and drainage away from the foundation, irrigation and backflow certification, soil history on former farm ground, tree health, and any conservation or current use enrolment.
