Do you love to grow plants, yet find it difficult to bend over, then stand up?Do you need to sit while tending your plants?Here at the Walpole Community Garden, we have a solution that will allow you to be an active grower once again!Advisor to the Raised Bed Project, Jill Robinson, and Brian Shriver, carpenter, have made this idea a reality. Two raised beds, 3’w x 8.5’l, sit on flat ground at the Walpole Community Garden, and are accessible on all sides from the main garden path. Now, you can put in a row of carrots, some lettuce seeds, or colorful annual flowers, at a bed height that will accommodate your specific needs. The beds are ready to plant, when you arrive with your favorites.
Please call 445-5283, or email fritzetill@gmail.com to set up day and time to arrive with your plants.
Community Garden Outreach: Members will share the goodness of healthy, organic, local produce with the Fall Mountain Food Shelf, and residents of Applewood again. We are happy to host a Hooper Summer Program student, who will work in the Community Garden with Hooper Committee member Jackie Kensen. If you have never visited the Community Garden before, please know that you are welcome to come and see the many crops we are growing, tour the orchard, learn about Permaculture plant guilds, building nutrient rich soil, and the “Hugelkultur” process. The garlic will be ready to harvest in July, kale, collards, chard, pole and bush beans, winter squashes, cucumbers, melons, cabbages, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and peppers, just to name a few veggies, later in the season. We encourage pollinators by including a variety of flowers and herbs too. Many thanks to all who have helped, as the Walpole Community Garden continues to extend it’s outreach!
