Murdo Community Garden

Work has begun on the first community garden project, located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Second Street. Around 20 community members began work on Thursday, May 10 by cleaning up the area, tilling and mowing the space in order to lay out plots for planting.

The project is one of the many suggestions from the Horizons group meetings that were held throughout the winter. It is one of the first projects to come together based on those meetings.

The land is being donated for use and the city is only charging the group for the cost of the water needed. All the time and labor has been donated. The garden is for everyone who would like to be involved, who otherwise is not physically able, or doesn’t have the space or time for a garden themselves.

There is still time for you to get involved in this community project. It isn't limited to Murdo residents, Anyone in the county who doesn't have the space for their own garden is welcome to participate in the project. This is a great opportunity for the community to work together and make new friendships. Its more than just a garden! For more information contact: Michelle McNeely, Jill Venard and Cheryl McMillan.
