Port Angeles urban residents and Dry Creek Grange members met on Jan 22, 2009 in the Grange basement to discuss various aspects of establishing a Community Garden. The following general guidelines were discussed and adopted for further study:     The Community Garden must have full sunshine morning to evening     The Garden must be located on or very near Clallam Transit bus line(s)     The Garden must have water availability for drip irrigation of garden plots     The Garden would be solely Organic to reduce frictional issues with various gardeners in farming their plots of soil       The Garden should be in the vicinity of the Dry Creek Grange to allow use of Grange facilities for education and training on a year-round basis     Garden members would be members of the Grange regardless of whether they live in rural or urban areas     Garden plot sizes and fees would be determined when a garden plan is formalized     Local farmers would assist Community Gardeners in marketing their excess produce at a Farmer’s Market or other venue of their choice The next meeting is scheduled for Feb 3, 2009 at the Dry Creek Grange basement at 7pm, any interested persons are invited to attend. We will attempt to get a “lessons learned” from Pam Larson who is a primary spearhead of the Sequim Community Garden project         2009-02-01T20:50:00+00:00
