The City of Sequim and Friends of the Field are reserving garden plots for the Community Organic Gardens of Sequim 2012 year. The plots are available in raised beds and ground beds. The fee per bed is $45.00 per calendar year. The gardening season runs from March through October. Plots are available at two different gardens; one is located on Fir St. behind St. Luke Episcopal Church and one is located at the June Robinson Memorial Park on the corner of Spruce Street and Sunnyside Avenue. In addition to working their own plots, all participants are asked to put in 4 hours of community gardening. There will be sign up at orientation, which will be held on February 25, 2012 at the Fir Street garden.
Contact Liz Harper at 683-7698 to reserve space at the Fir St. garden plots or Ann Holgerson at 683-4139 for the June Robinson Memorial Park garden plots.
Classes on organic gardening will also be offered. The classes will begin in early March and will be held on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. There will be a total of eight classes and two field trips. If this is your first year gardening, you are encouraged you to attend to learn more about organic gardening.
If you are interested in the gardening classes, but do not have a plot at either garden, the fee is $30. To sign up for classes call Pam at 582-1106.
