The ground has been tilled and marked, the garden design laid out, and the plans for watering put in place for the new Thurmont Community Garden.
A work day will be held on April 2, 2016, to install the garden’s fence and gates, establish walkways of plastic and mulch, and set plot numbers. Prior to this, the town will be setting the fence posts, constructing a stand to house water containers, delivering mulch, and posting the Community Garden sign. The Green Team will conduct water checks and overall garden checks on a schedule to assist tenants and maintain order and tidiness. Greg Daniels, leader of the Community Garden project, will answer questions about water, plot size, cost, location, and so forth. Local Thurmont Cub Scout Troop 270 will assist with the work day.
Much appreciation is extended to Cousins Ace Hardware, who generously donated all the fencing and posts needed for the garden.
The Community Garden is located in the Carroll Street Park, just below the playground. Residents may lease 9’x11’ garden plots within the 30×100’ garden area for $25.00 each. For more information, please contact Greg Daniels at
