Greenville
Community Gardens has found a home and is making the final preparations
to
begin its inaugural season. We are proud to announce the opening of
D.A.
Fitzgerald Memorial Garden, located at 1045 Sater Street in Greenville.
Jeff
Besecker, Executive Director of the project, has worked with numerous
volunteers to plan the project since late last year. The group has
secured the
location and the garden will be at the corner of Markwith Avenue and
Sater
Street in Greenville, across the corner from the ball diamonds. The
land has
been generously donated by D.A. Fitzgerald owner Scott Fitzgerald.
The garden
will offer plots of 4 feet by 12 feet for $20 ($16 for Seniors) for the
year,
as well as 9 feet by 16 feet plots for $40 ($32 for Seniors) for the
year.
Included in the registration fee this year will be a starter package of
seeds.
Any
individual or group can lease a plot, however, registration will be
open only
to City of Greenville residents until May 22nd, then registration will
be open
to any interested applicants. Applications and registration
instructions and
guidelines can be found at
http://greenvillecommunitygardens.com/join/.
The garden
project can promote healthy eating and community unity by giving
residents a place to meet, mingle, and work together. It will help
teach
kids where their food comes from, as well as healthy eating habits,
in
a fun and natural environment.
Greenville
Community Gardens would also like to thank D.A. Fitzgerald for their
generous
donation of land, Ansonia FFA for seeds, Miller Flower Greenhouse for
seeds and
tomato plants, Sycamore Bridge for helping with garden planning and
donation of
seeds, and Ron Besecker for sharing his time to layout the garden and
establish
the beds. This project will thrive on community support just like this,
and we
greatly appreciate all of the support we have received from these and
other
supporters.
