Dear Editor,

I’m part of a group looking into the possibility of establishing a community garden in Waitsburg. Our vision is for an accessible gathering place where people of all ages can come together and enjoy this activity.

Right now, the biggest hurdle we face is finding the land to set the project up on. It would be a raised-bed garden, so the quality of the soil isn’t an issue. But we’d need some way of getting water for the plants (a spigot onsite, for example).

If you own or know of a piece of land that we might be able to use, please contact me at ecphilbrook@gmail.com. As of yet, we are still determining the feasibility of putting a community garden together, and so we’d really appreciate your help in learning more about our options!

Yours sincerely,

Emma Philbrook
