Hello Friends of The Cullowhee Community Garden, and Happy New Year to you all! 2013 is going to be a great year for gardening in Jackson County. I am happy to announce that we have received our funding, and that the money did not fall down any cliffs, or get diverted to be used in funding Hydraulic Fracturing efforts in NC, but it is here and we get to grow The Cullowhee Community Garden! It has been a long few months waiting for word on our funding, and it is a huge relief to have it finally come through!
We will update you all very soon on the new time-frame for the first round of plot adoptions, and any and all volunteer opportunities including helping to remove rocks and large sticks or roots from the garden area prior to tilling in the Spring. There will also be opportunities for removing exotic-invasive plants from the property, and helping to build the infrastructure for the garden, including water catchment and pumping, fencing, compost making areas, spreading topsoil, and many, many other tasks necessary for implementing the garden.
We are very excited about The Cullowhee Community Garden, and hope that you are as well. Hope to see you all, very soon! The Cullowhee Community Garden...KALE YEAH!!!
This is such a good thing! Well done! On a side note I was thinking that maybe if we had a plan for the rocks, like strategically putting them in a bed or two to raise soil and ambient air temps? Maybe we could create a little gart and extend the season a bit on both ends.
