PUTNEY — The Putney Central School Community Garden is looking for gardeners for plots tucked away behind the school, just next to the school's own garden. All plots on the community side are about 210 sq. ft. and have been worked for many years as organic gardens.
The school supplies water, and the hose reaches all plots. Though the garden space is tree-lined on one side, all plots have maximum sun exposure, giving one the feeling of being out in the open, and surrounded by nature.
The cost is $30 for the season. Of that, $20 goes to the school for rent (which helps support the school's garden), and $10 goes towards garden needs.
Organizers also say there are opportunities to pitch in on some pleasant work to help improve and maintain shared areas in the garden. Gardeners choose from a posted task list. One such task is helping out in a garden planted to serve the Putney Food Shelf.
