Community Garden Update

One of the many benefits of Co-op membership is the opportunity to rent a garden plot for the summer. The Co-op’s Community Garden is located on Route 5 in Norwich, Vermont, next to the Farmer’s Market.

We still have a few garden plots remaining for Summer 2012. Full-sized plots (approximately 20 feet by 20 feet) rent for $30; half-sized for $15. The rental fee covers maintenance costs and the pumping of on-site water from the adjacent wetland.

A security deposit equal to the rental fee for the plot is required. The deposit will be returned if the plot is cleared of all stakes, markers, and other non-plant debris in early fall. To enter the drawing for the remaining 2012 plots, please send two checks for either $30 (full plot) or $15 (half plot) made out to “Co-op Food Stores” along with your contact information to:

Michele Jordan, Member Services Coordinator
Hanover Co-op
P.O. Box 633
Hanover, NH 03755

so they are received on or before March 1, 2012. Winners will be notified by phone or e-mail during early March. If there are more requests than plots available, a waiting list will be established.

Checks will be returned to those who do not get a plot. If you have further questions, contact Michele at (603) 640-6323 or email missy@coopfoodstore.com.
