Community Garden Looking Good

We have had many residents from the neighborhood and across the city come out and help with garden and recently we planted three dogwood bushes and one tree which were donated. Each plot is 4-5 feet by 20 feet and it is up to the gardeners what they want to plant. As part of our $60 membership with the Camden Children\’s Garden we are eligible to receive flats of vegetables. Both the committee and individuals who joined has utilized it. We have planted some squash and tomatoes in the garden but every gardener can choose what they want to plant. There is no cost for a plot as we know people are struggling however if individuals wish to make a monetary donation they can. The donations will be used for the garden.

I also want to make sure to thank Mike Devlin, who runs the Camden Children\’s Garden and without whose help this garden in the City of Gloucester City would have never happened. Mike has gone above and beyond for our committee and city.

We have three blue bins which we received from the Camden Children\’s Garden from one of the shipping companies that we use to collect water so water is available to everyone at no charge. The city also donated two composters to us for the garden and Water Supt. Fred Schindler has helped with getting water to the garden.
