Attention All Gardeners - Community Garden Plots Available for 2012!
Blue Islander’s have been hard at work developing community gardens, and now we need you - Blue Island’s Community Gardeners.
There are 2 locations:
Memorial Park Community Garden
Active for the past 2 years, this garden is located behind the Memorial Park Pool. Raised bed garden plots are 4’x10’ and available for rent at $25 per season.
California Gardens Community Garden (CG2)
A brand new garden for 2012 - CG2 offers 10’x10’ and 4’x10’ garden plots, a hoophouse, mini orchard and food pantry plots.
In October 2011, we had a ground breaking party for this location and even planted a small demonstration garden. In early December 2011, 3 apple trees were planted and in the spring we will be receiving peach trees as well.
Gardeners Needed
We are currently looking for people who would be interested in gardening for the upcoming season and volunteering to help tend the food pantry plots. There are still plots available at both locations. Please email Amanda Stillwell for more information.
