Wanted: Gardeners for new Word Of Life garden plots !!!
Hello Brookdale friends. I've had an interest in developing a way we can garden together locally during the summer and approached Word of Life Church.... They have graciously offered a part of their front property for development into garden plots for community use. Details are still in process, but here's what's being considered:
- Plot size: 10' x 10'
- Each 10' x 10' plot will cost $5-7 dollars for the summer to cover cost of water, trash removal etc.
- Choose 1, 2, 4 or 6 plots depending on the size garden you want to tend.
- Watering: will most likely be by bucket (following the Park District Garden Plot model), though we may be able to work out a hose watering method. (The concern with hose watering is accidentally dragging a hose through a neighbors plot and knocking down their hard work).
- Season: Late April thru TBD Please keep weeds in check
We'd ask that you be willing to donate a portion (amount is at your discretion) of the food you produce to local food banks. Word Of Life will most likely provide a collection point right at the church.
Does this concept interest you? If so, please let me know how many plots you'd like by sending an email to:
I'd like to help WOL determine how much area to plow/turn over this Spring in preparation. I look forward to the opportunity to garden with you, trade some tips and offer some of what we produce to those locally who are in need.
Thanks so much,
Kirk Luttrell
