Grafton Community Garden seeks gardeners for planting season

The Lee Knowlton Community Garden, under the auspices of the Grafton Garden Club, is accepting applications now from Grafton residents who want to reserve their own garden plot.

The 20 foot by 20 foot plots, located off Estabrook Road, may be rented for $20 for the season. Each plot is large enough for a substantial garden. 

The entire garden is fenced to keep predators, including deer, away. Your responsibility is to gently turn over the soil, as soon as the soil has sufficiently dried out.

After the threat of frost has passed in May, gardens can be planted with vegetables, herbs, flowers, and/or berries. Your tender plants will need to be watered and weeded once or twice a week depending on the weather. You supply your own tools and water.

To sign up for a plot, visit www.graftongardenclub.org. Fill out the forms and mail them and your check to Grafton Garden Club, PO Box 453, Grafton, MA 01519.
