The Trust for Working Landscapes (TWL) is pleased to announce the availability of public garden plots (“p-patches”) at the Johnson Farm.

Each plot will be 200 square feet in area. At this point, a tilled plot space, water, minimal deer fencing and tool storage will be provided. Future infrastructure will depend on available funding and volunteer participation. A work party is planned for Saturday, March 21st from 10 am to 2 pm. This is the time to get digging! The Historical Society will also be at the work party planting Marshall strawberries in the p-patch area.

Johnson Farm is located on the west side of Fletcher Bay Road approximately ½ mile from High School Road. Fourteen plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A sign up sheet will be available on March 2 at the Sustainable First Monday Community Gardens, P-Patches and Backyard Gardens. This event is from 7-9pm at Bainbridge Commons (next to Senior Center on Brien Drive). You may also contact Christy Carr for more information.
