According to the Cherokee Tribune, Woodstock residents will soon have the opportunity to grow flowers and vegetables in a community garden setting. After a successful pilot program last year, the city plans to offer 20-by-20 foot plots on land along Dobbs Road behind the Chattagoochee Technical College campus downtown.
There will be 24 plots available on a first-come, first-served basis for city of Woodstock residents. The registration fee is $25 and includes access to a shed to store gardening materials. For more information, call 770-517-6788 or contact ppooser@woodstockga.gov
This is a great way to meet others with interests similar to yours and to have fresh vegetables for your family and friends if you live in a neighborhood that would frown upon you planting a garden. So get your hands dirty and think green!
This is a fun way to bring the community together. I last summer I tried to plant flowers in my front yard and the Arizona heat killed them off!

Sorry about your flowers last summer…try watering this year and maybe you will have better luck. A community sharing getting dirty and fresh vegetables is always great.
