The Community Garden is Ready for Planting!
A brand new community garden is ready to be planted!
The garden is available to residents of both Gulfport and St. Petersburg; providing the opportunity to grow vegetables, annuals and other non-permanent plants in a plot of their own.
The garden is a grassroots endeavor being coordinated by a group of local gardening enthusiasts. It is supported by the City of Gulfport and the South 49th Street Business Association. It is intended to provide a sustainable, educational, and aesthetically appealing garden in the Gulfport community.
The garden is located on Preston Avenue between 51st and 52nd Street South. Plots are available for $25 for a season, with two seasons a year (March-August and September-February). Organizers hope that eventually the garden will offer educational courses for both youth and adults on topics ranging from organic gardening to xeriscaping. The focus will be on sustainable and organic gardening.
The grassroots community group is currently seeking gardeners with interest in having their own plot as well as volunteers to help with the garden. Plots are currently available for planting (Sunny plots, approximately 60 square feet, water provided).
To sign up and reserve your own plot please visit BanyanScapes, 932 49th Street South, St. Petersburg, FL 33707.
