Treasurer's Report

The OTCG has 33 6x10 (60 square feet) individual garden plots. The annual fee for each plot is $10. If a gardener decides to "adopt" more than one plot, the annual fee drops to $5 for each additional plot. If all plots are adopted, we hope to net approximately $300 annually.

No firm decisions have been made on how the money will be used. The money may be used to purchase supplies (e.g. seeds, plants, hoes, rakes, shears, etc.) that could be shared amongst the gardeners. Some of the money may be used to purchase educational supplies to aid gardeners in learning more about gardening. Another option is to use some of this money to cover the fees for those individuals who are less fortunate. As soon as a decision is made, we'll post an update on the Blog.

We hope the garden will provide a positive environment for experienced and inexperienced gardeners to work together, build community spirit, and provide fresh produce for those who are less fortunate. Since this is the Old Town community Garden's first year, we are still trying to determine what is needed and the direction we want to take the garden. We welcome all those who wish to participate in gardening or help the garden "grow." If you would like to join in the fun, contact the CCA or any of the Old Town Community Garden Executive Committee members for an application.
