SHCG Update
We have wonderful news for our future community garden. It would appear that through many meetings and emails, on 8/5, we finally made some headway with the city. They are in full support of our garden in the park, including our construction of raised beds and a fence. These two items are essential for our success and longevity as a garden, so this is great news!
CRP considers us a model garden to showcase partnerships between community gardeners and parks because we are so well organized and professional in our planning, we have proved we have a strong residents' association, and we have maintained the pool property for over 40 years. Because of their support, we will finally be creating the garden in the Spring 2010, so there will be lots of opportunities to help in a variety of ways, including: wood working, fence installation, getting dirt and compost, spreading woodchips, and getting donations!
More information to come on opportunities to support the community garden, as well as to sign up for a raised bed through which to grow food and fellowship.
If you are not on the email list for the SHCG, please let Amy know to add your contact information.
Amy also gave a presentation on the garden to the Northwest Civic Association on 8/5. The NWCA was happy to hear about our project and has offered their enthusiastic support, including ideas about bringing this project to the attention of our government leaders!
A SHRA entrance work day will take place before the perennial split sale on 9/26 from 8-10 am. We will be weeding, rearranging and dividing plants, and preparing our entrances for the winter. Please contact Amy at 849 8421 or pinnegar.1@gmail.com if you are interested in helping on that day (or a different time that would be more convenient for you).
