From the Springtree Neighborhood Association Newsletter:
This Saturday, March 27, at 8 a.m., volunteers will be meeting at the park on NW 30th Terrace to begin planting our very own community garden. Those interested in joining should bring a pair of gloves and any gardening supplies you’re willing to share. We’ll provide seeds, small starter plants, and soil for the raised beds. Master gardeners will be in attendance to guide you. Please check in at the blue tent when you arrive.
From a letter to the editor of the Center City Gazette:
This community is long overdue for a community garden. A community garden provides more than just pretty scenery. It gives those who don’t have space to plant a garden in their own yard the opportunity to grow their own flowers and vegetables. It allows neighbors to get together and share their knowledge with each other in the great outdoors. Every person I’ve talked to is interested in taking part in this project. Now we need the city commission to take action. I encourage everyone to call their commissioners and tell them to open up the vacant lot on NW 30th Terrace to the public. Let us turn that muddy field into a space we can all be proud of!
