Garden of Feed'em Community Garden

This community garden, at the start of its second year, is taking on new members who want personal garden plots. Last year the focus was on communal plots whose produce went to the area food shelves. This year the garden is reaching its stride, continuing with an emphasis on sharing with others, but adding plots for individuals and families. The garden also is partnering with the Conway Rec Center, whose Kids' Rec Check program will have its own plot - a teaching and learning environment for area kids.

Members of the garden are expected to help out with the communal areas, and a small fee is expected from gardeners.

The district council helps out with some things for the garden, but this is a neighbor-run organization with a neighborhood focus. If you want to help out, you can contact the district council and we will put you in touch with Mary or Barb, the garden organizers.
