cross-posted to Local Food Columbus
Are you an apartment dweller looking for a place to garden? A gardener looking for more space than you currently have? Art Yoho has generously volunteered his front yard for the site of our new community garden. The space is about one acre on Maize Road, just a bit north of Cooke Road. We’re looking for interested people to participate.
There is no fee for participation. Wayne Shingler of Frijolito Farm will be available to help those new to gardening. Whether you’re looking to make a dent in your grocery bill or just want to give away your crop to neighbors or a food pantry, come out and play in the dirt with us this year!
Plots will be ten feet by ten feet, but if we have more plots than gardeners, you can do more than one plot. Everyone is welcome, but in the spirit of localizing our food system, preference will be given to those who live nearest to the garden if we get more interested people than we have plots available.
Special thanks to Art Yoho, Chuck Lynd, and Michael Jones for making this garden possible.
To sign up or for more information, contact Wayne at (614) 390-2692 or at wayne@frijolitofarm.com with “Maize garden” in the subject line.
