Finally, a way to use my green thumb. OK, that was a lie. I’ve actually only owned one plant - it was a cactus and I managed to kill it.
Despite my past failure, however, I’m ready to hit the dirt at the new Oxford Community Garden. That’s right, a community garden!
Friday at 9:30 a.m., a ceremonial garden groundbreaking will take place on the future garden site located on a half-acre lot at the old National Guard Armory on the corner of University Avenue and Bramlett Boulevard.
At the groundbreaking, Oxford residents will be able to sign up for a plot in the garden. Depending on the chosen size, plots will cost $5- $15. Planting will begin next winter, which will allow time to improve the garden’s soil.
After the groundbreaking, stick around for a composting and “green kitchen” workshop.
The community garden truly is groundbreaking - go check it out!

How are people able to sign up for plots if they weren't at the groundbreaking?
ReplyDeleteI will be moving to Oxford this summer, and I would love to have a plot! Are there any left? How can we sign up?
ReplyDeleteIf you couldn't make it to the groundbreaking, no biggie. Go to the community garden website and you can register there. The deadline is May 7th.
