Byrd
Park Community Garden
Plots
Available NOW!
Are
you a frustrated city gardener with a lack of sunny greenspace?
Are
you a curious or novice gardener looking for others to teach you some
plant-growing tricks?
Are
you a penny-saver hoping to ease the grocery budget by growing your
own food?
Are
you a Byrd Park resident seeking to connect with our neighborhood
gardening community?
If the
answer is “yes” to any of these questions, we have the answer!
The Byrd Park Community Garden is offering raised
bed plots (4 feet x 8 feet)
to 20 residents of our neighborhood for a base fee of $50 plus a
start-up fee of $20 this year ($70
total fee for 2012). These
will be available on a first come, first served basis to individuals
who submit their check for $70 and a signed plot rental agreement
(click here).
The Byrd
Park Community Garden will be located at 2100 Idlewood on the grounds
of the lovely and historic Winthrop Manor, a newly opened assisted
living facility for senior adults. Our groundbreaking weekend is
April 14th
and 15th
so if you'd like to be a part of building the garden, we need your
shovels and skills! (click here to sign up!)
The plot
enrollment period begins Wednesday, March 28th,
and continues until all plots are rented. If we have more applicants
than plots available, we may be able to accommodate those on the
waiting list by building more beds, but to ensure your spot in the
Community Garden, get your completed application in now! Turn in
your $70 check (payable to Tricycle Gardens) and signed plot rental
agreement to Leslie Hartman, 2107 Maplewood Avenue.
See you
at the garden!
