Community garden seeking gardeners

Posted

DAMASCUS, PA — The Galilee Community Garden opens Memorial Day Weekend for its second growing season for any who wish to garden organically. Ten-by-ten-foot plots are currently available and can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The garden is on the grounds of the Unity Grange at 544 Galilee Rd. Both experienced and beginning gardeners are invited to apply.

Gardeners are asked to agree to practice organic gardening methods and not use chemicals on their plots. A vegetable plant exchange will be held on Saturday, May 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the garden.

The Galilee Community Garden is sponsored by the PEARL Center for Rural Ministry, an outreach of the Damascus Area United Methodist churches, in partnership with the Galilee Grange and many other community partners. Its goal is to provide a place for those who wish a garden can learn about organic gardening, grow vegetables for eating and flowers for beauty, meet community neighbors and find friendship. A large area is set aside to grow vegetables for the township food pantry and volunteers are welcome.

To reserve a garden, donate plants or garden tools to the Galilee Community Garden, or learn more about the garden, call Doris J. Swendsen at 570/224-4178.
