The Garden at Porter Medical Center as of 8/27/11
The garden opened with the first member work day on Sunday, June 12th. The record breaking wet spring delayed ground preparation but Saturday, June 11th was the big day, with Tom Bodette delivering 10 yards of compost and tilling the site! To help compensate for the delay the garden received generous donations of seed and transplants to help get the plots off to a good start. The garden has a new home!
MACG has partnered with Porter Medical Center to create a community garden space for summer 2011. The garden is located to the left of the Porter Medical Center cafeteria patio. When driving from the Middlebury's town center turn left in the first Porter entrance, go past the ambulance building on the left and stay right. The garden will be straight ahead in front of the large brick wall. Parking is available to your left. Applications are available (at the bottom of the page) We have 8 plots reserved for community members and 8 plots reserved for Porter Medical Center employees.
We still have a few plots left in the garden and are continuing to accept applications. Please check back for updates, and get in touch if you'd like to help.
