“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt” ~M Atwood



The Waterford Community Garden will be open for registration (and planting if you are ready) on May 21, 2011 at 9am. Garden plots are 10’x15’ and there is a fee of $10/per plot to cover garden expenses. If you are very enthusiastic, you can take 2 plots for the season and grow them together!

We are conveniently located next to the Rural Roots Café (delicious coffee and donuts and fantastic new eat-in café) on Old Hwy 24 at the south end of Waterford.

We are looking forward to seeing old and new faces this year as we continue to spread the word about how fun and healthy it is to grow a garden!!

If you cannot make it to registration, just call Jenny at 443-0758 and we will make sure you have space for this season.

And of course we cannot begin saying “Thanks” early enough – Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Tony Yin, our very generous landlord, Kalis Greenhouses (visit them at 279 Old Hwy 24, north of Waterford for inspiring garden ideas)for lending us water tanks again, Gray Stewardson and all of his farm implements and Tri County Insurance for keeping us covered again. “Thank You, Thank You Very Much…..”

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. ~R. Stout



The WCG is in the works again, and yet again we are L-A-T-E so I hope you werent planting early peas!

Our location will be firm by the end of this week and we plan on being ready to plant by May 21.

Watch for signs around town and the big sign at the Waterford United Church for regitration day coming soon.
