The City of Reno is seeking neighbors in northeast Reno who would like to participate in the new community garden project this spring in Teglia's Paradise Park. The goal of the program is to bring the community together to grow a healthy garden, with the products of the garden benefitting local charity as well as the gardeners themselves. Garden plots are available to neighbors of northeast Reno, students at Bernice Martin Mathews Elementary School and other residents if space permits.
All plots are free of charge.
The only requirement is that 10 percent of the vegetables produced at the garden go to Evelyn Mount's Community Outreach, Inc. which provides food to low income families and the elderly in our community. Everyone interested in participating in this exciting program is invited to register between April 3 and April 14, by stopping by Teglia's Paradise Park Activity Center, at 2745 Elementary Ave., or by calling 356-3176. Plots will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Once registered, all gardeners must attend an orientation to be assigned their plot and to hear the policies of the new program. Both sessions will be held at the Teglia's Paradise Park Activity Center.
