Please note, the St. Joseph community garden is all full for this year, with a waiting list. As mentioned in a previous post, the Benton-Stephens garden is also full for 2011 at this point.
There are still plots to be had at other gardens, though, so get your applications in today!
A brand new community garden is starting next to the Health Department on Worley! On Monday, March 21 at 5:30 pm come to an informational meeting at the Columbia/Boone County Health Department (1005 West Worley) for people interested in having a garden plot.
The garden will have fruit trees, berry bushes and lots of plots for growing your favorite vegetables. Grow something great in your neighborhood! For more information contact Mike Burden mikeburden77@gmail.com or Adam Saunders (573) 356-9392.
A new status update for Benton-Stephens:
Plots are all spoken for, but a waiting list will be started. Potential gardeners or volunteers who could help prepare new plot areas or take down a falling tree, please contact the garden leader!
The Benton-Stephens garden is starting to get going for the 2011 gardening season. Read all about it in this article by Alahandra Jones for the Missourian’s Neighborhood News.
If you’re thinking of gardening this year, or are interested in starting a community garden, don’t miss this annual organizing meeting. You can sign up or confirm a plot to grow your own vegetables and flowers and meet garden leaders and fellow gardeners. You can also learn about how to start a community garden. Newcomers are welcome.
We’ll also be giving away free seeds and providing tasty snacks!
