Saco Community Garden

So the SCG (Saco Community Garden) held an interesting meeting recently. They are the nonprofit that displayed a small garden next to the Saco Museum/Library. The success of that small demonstration has led them on to the Community Garden that will start this Spring. Saco residents get first dibs on a 10x10 plot.

The really interesting part was to hear how it is all coming together. They have mapped out the garden, contracted out the building of the tool shed to a local high-school class and are deciding on fencing materials. Their laughter and know-how are powerful draws. Most of the committee members are master gardeners through extension courses so there will be lots of talented people who have the answers for us first-time gardeners.

After an evening with these excited volunteers, I am ready to grow monster crops. You can too if you rent a plot soon!
