We have 13 4x12 plots and that is it. One of the rules however is no perennials and all beds must be cleaned up by October 1st. Not sure they will stick with the October 1st is we haven't had a frost but time will tell.<br /><br />Good luck with the move. Do any of the schools around you offer horticulture? I would thing the move and reestablishing a new community garden would be just the thing for them.wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527833260038141710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-61545653712826403882011-09-04T09:02:55.537-04:002011-09-04T09:02:55.537-04:00Ali, I bet you're right about those lobbyists!...Ali, I bet you're right about those lobbyists!<br /><br />That's a great idea!

Darn rabbits. <br /><br />I am sure it will be a huge pain, and I hope their is some help available for people who will need it to move. Any chance of contacting a nearby college/university/high school to request help? Our campus volunteer center would recruit student volunteers to help with this type of project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-33512457570384456712011-09-04T07:48:00.112-04:002011-09-04T07:48:00.112-04:00Laura, It would be nice if they give the gardeners...Laura, It would be nice if they give the gardeners who move free rent for a year or two. I'm concerned about some of the older gardeners and those who don't have cars. I've mentioned this to the administrator. Hopefully, there will be help available.<br /><br />Ginny, the site is nice.

It does look like it is happening fast. Everyone at Farmland Preservation is aware about the perennials from me and some of the old timers there. All of these things will be addressed when we have a meeting. I really don't think that they will be doing the site work for the new county buildings before April of next year. So, hopefully, we will be able to move our perennials at the appropriate time.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-36150965813225437042011-09-03T09:37:38.020-04:002011-09-03T09:37:38.020-04:00Even tho I know this is an unwanted move, the pict...Even tho I know this is an unwanted move, the pictures are lovely.

The gardeners who had to move didn't have to pay any rent for 2 years. I don't know if that will happen this time.<br /><br />I am sure that the officials down town knew about the move some time ago. However, they did not notify Farmland Preservation until last week!<br /><br />The county parks department will be clearing and preparing the site. I just hope it is ready before the winter and are able to get some stuff done this fall.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-51500643279928086002011-09-03T07:02:37.522-04:002011-09-03T07:02:37.522-04:00Will you get some compensation? - It is going to b...Will you get some compensation? - It is going to be quite a task removing those large trees - haven't they a preservation order or anything.<br /><br />Surely these plans were known about before they let out your plot and they could have warned you then.<br /><br />It must be an even bigger wrench for anyone who has had a plot for years and is faced with losing fruit bushes/trees etc.<br /><br />I hope it works out.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-47006460327203537012011-09-02T20:26:29.640-04:002011-09-02T20:26:29.640-04:00I hope that the new place is even better for you :...I hope that the new place is even better for you :)Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-5518237797079139512011-09-02T20:08:39.198-04:002011-09-02T20:08:39.198-04:00Ginny, I change the picture at the top quite often...Ginny, I change the picture at the top quite often.
