High Plains Environmental Center
Community Garden
Annual garden boxes are free and available to members of High Plains Environmental Center and community residents.
Please contact info@suburbitat.org with any questions!
The Community Garden Program begins on May 1st, and includes:
– Workshops on pest management, crop propagation, and sustainable garden practices (composting, for example)
– Community Garden Potlucks/Produce Swap 1x per month to share our skills, experiences, and harvest!
– Free access to HPEC’s organics/food waste disposal, worm castings/compost give-away program, & free Red Wiggler Worms to start your own worm compost!
PLEASE NOTE:
– Garden Boxes are 2ft. x 3ft. x 2ft. (tall), and come with soil already in the box.
– Soil amendments are the responsibility of the plot holder.
– One plot per household (to start).
HPEC’s Community Garden provides an opportunity for Centerra Residents & Friends of HPEC to practice horticultural or small-scale agricultural skills. This can be a great way to start a small satellite garden if you are interested in experimenting with new skills or crops, or if your home does not allow you to alter the landscape.
