Garden Plots Now in View!



Thank goodness for a gardener's leap of faith. After seeing only fence posts waving out from the snow cover for two months, it is taking some serious forward thinking to start talking gardens. Though I haven't actually seen the gardens yet this second week of March, I know they are there, and I'm starting to rub my palms together with anticipation.

I am expecting one or two available plots this spring, which is unfortunately a meager offering. The personal re-fencing of some of the gardens last summer proved successful and rewarding, and many gardeners are keeping their plots. Please email me if you are interested in a garden plot for this year; I maintain a waiting list when I get more interest than availability and will be happy to include your name.

The fee for a garden plot is $10 per year. Spring rototilling is available for an additional fee – usually $12 to $15. There is a hose for watering, but watering is the responsibility of the gardener. Fencing is also the responsibility of the gardener, though last year the Field Club very generously provided fencing materials and expects to be able to do that again this year. Fencing is not required but really does help deter harvesting by the plentiful wildlife!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
