SHEC’s
Community Garden offers members a great place to grow organic
vegetables. With abundant sunlight, fertile soil and access
to
compost and water, thousands of pounds of food have come from the 13
plots over the last 15 years. Each plot is 20’ x 20’ and will
be
rented to members for only $25 for the entire season.
Soule Homestead usually has tools and hoses
gardeners may borrow (if put away
when done), but many people prefer to bring their own. This is an
organic garden. Fences are suggested but not required.
Chemical
pesticides and fertilizers are not allowed.
Many
gardeners return year after year, but we usually have several new faces
each spring. If you’re able to commit to the hard work and can put in
the time (at least a few hours each week), a community garden plot may
be right for you.
