UW Extension has announced that they are now accepting applicants for the community garden plots located at Sherman Road just northeast of town and at Riverside Cemetery, which is somewhat north central of town. In total, there are about 75 plots remaining.
Garden plots are about 20X40 feet, and the rental cost is about $25.00. Gardeners can rent multiple plots.
The following site provides contact information, as well as a link to a flyer for distribution and a link to the garden application. Please post a flyer and share with all interested parties.

In addition to being a cost-effective way for our clientele to access affordable and healthy food, participation in the community gardens program is a great way for agencies to participate in fun, team building activities while growing fresh produce that can be utilized by our local food pantry and meal sites. This is also a great avenue for services working with children to get them active and outdoors.
For additional information, contact UW Extension at 920.232.1971 or NSchneider@co.winnebago.wi.us
I hope to see a few of you at the gardens!
