Garden Plots Available for the 2012 Season at the Firestone Community Garden
With the prime growing season right around the corner, community members can now rent garden plots in the Firestone Community Garden, located on the property just north of the Firestone Town Hall, 151 Grant Ave.
The community garden allows residents the opportunity to grow vegetables and flowers in three garden plot sizes: 4-by-8 foot, 8-by-8 foot and 8-by-16 foot. In addition, a limited number of plots are elevated with wood timbers to make gardening more convenient for older adults. Garden rental prices are $15, $40 and $60, respectively, with senior discount pricing available. The rental fees cover administration costs of the garden, as well as the water, which is supplied by the Town of Firestone. The garden is established as an organic garden, thus no pesticides or chemicals are allowed.
The community garden rental agreement is available at Firestone Town Hall and online at www.ci.firestone.co.us/Forms/CommunityGarden/index.html.
The Firestone Community Garden was established in 2010 with a goal of getting community members involved with the Firestone community to promote healthy living and wellbeing by growing their own gardens.
