We are eager to share our green
space with our neighborhood. We love it
that people who work on Hampton come and sit in our All Saints'
Memorial Garden,
enjoying the cool shade and the soothing fountain. We are
glad when children come to visit the Lion Sculpture or to play
games of tag or baseball in a larger area than their backyards will
allow.
Now we would like to make some of our space available for people in the
neighborhood who would like to be part of a Community Garden.
People can grow whatever they want: herbs, lettuce, vegetables,
and flowers. We will ask gardeners to make a commitment to care
for their bed for one year. We will offer advice and support to
beginning gardeners. We will all learn from each other.
The principles of the Community Garden are:
- Neighborhood Inclusivity
- Pleasing Aesthetically
- Organic and sustainable gardening methods
- Shared workload.
The
Location:
The garden is bordered by the church, the alley
between
Clifton and Locke and the Proehl Center (former rectory). It gets a
good amount of sunshine per day, is south facing and sheltered.
The church provides tool storage, some shared tools and
water. Gardeners are expected to tend their own beds and keep them
watered and to share responsibility for the common areas (like borders
of garden and paths between beds.)
