Community Garden Sign Ups, Business Meeting March 10th

With spring planting just around the corner, it is time to think about spring and summer gardening. For those who are short on garden space or lack a sunny spot on their lawn, signing up for a community garden plot is a great way to enjoy your own fresh vegetables, meet new people, and enjoy exercise and time outdoors during the warmer months.

New gardeners, as well as those who participated last year, are invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday, March 10th at 7 pm in Fellowship Hall at the Morehead United Methodist church. Information on each of the garden sites will be provided, and there will be an opportunity to reserve a garden plot for the upcoming growing season. There is a $20 refundable deposit required to reserve a plot. New and returning gardeners who are unable to attend the meeting on March 10th may sign up for a plot on Sustainable Morehead’s website.

Sustainable Morehead will also hold its business meeting on March 10th.  In addition to community gardens, we will also discuss the Earth Day Celebration scheduled for April 22nd.
