Hi everyone,
What a great turnout we had on Saturday for our annual season opening! A huge Thank You to our Event Committee -Anne Kirschman, Kathy Williams, Laurie Christiana, Ann Shor, and Carol Wasserman- for organizing a wonderful Potluck lunch! Another huge THANK YOU to Ayres Souza for organizing what has now become our annual roto-tilling!! And another huge thank you to Lisa Guyot for a great presentation about our composting system that she has been organizing for the past year.
Recipes!!! We had some incredible dishes brought in for the potluck lunch. I’d love to collect any recipes that people are willing to share so that we can post them on our website.
All in all, about 20 people showed up, beds were tilled and weeded, compost was spread and mulch laid on top to keep the weeds down, bunny excluding fences erected… A great team effort from folks helping each other throughout!
Sad you missed it? Don’t worry, we are planning three more Garden Gatherings throughout the season – the next one coming up in early June, stay tuned!
Thank you to everyone who turned out for the day!
Happy spring and happy gardening!
Hannah, Anne, Ayres, Lisa, Carl, Sandy, and Jim
Hi! Just found your site – I’m new to Wareham and happy to see there is a community garden. Do you take compost material from people in our community? Where I live doesn’t support composting – I’m looking for options. Also – are there opportunities for those who don’t have a plot to participate with your group? Thank you and all the best. ~Beth
Hi Beth,
Thank you so much for finding out site and for your inquiry! We don’t take outside compost per se, but I will let our Composting Coordinator, Lisa Guyot, respond in more detail about that.
Regarding the community garden, we have several plots that we rent out to Wareham residents so that they can garden and grow their own food. If you would like to rent a plot, I can put you on a waiting list for next year, please email us at warehamcommunitygarden@gamil.com!
