Together is the coordiator for the community garden in the 2002 season. This organic garden depends on volunteers for maintinence and cultivation. We hope to raise awareness of the necessity of community participation to keep and improve the site. Even 15 minutes a week could help keep any weeds at bay. This garden does not belong to any one group, but adds to the value of the community.
Personal allotments are also available for a small fee or in exchange for volunteer time.
This past season the garden has seen lots of activity. The elementary and pre-school children planted peas, potatoes and a sunflower spiral in the Children s garden. The Earth Matters E-team, a group of cheerful and idealistic youth, aided us with the hauling of sand, forming of pathways, and digging out some of the most stubborn weeds. The garden also had the most colourful beds under the greenthumb of local senior, Mrs. Elisabeth Neiderstiener. Her radishes this year were the best she s ever tasted.
