Join in to clean up Community Garden. In these uncertain economic times, demand for Community Garden plots has increased. People are already signing up at the Conservation Commission for the 20 by 30 foot plots in the garden on Route 27 (Old Sudbury Road) adjacent to the Cow Common conservation land between Bow Road and the North Cemetery. The Wayland Town Democratic Committee is sponsoring a community service project to clean up the Community Garden on Saturday, May 9 (postponed from April 11 due to expected rain) from 9am to noon. All are welcome to help prepare this gem for the growing season. The purpose is to remove debris left by past gardeners and clear weeds and small shrubs which have overtaken some plots.

Participants should bring work gloves. Long pants and long-sleeved shirts are recommended. It is likely to be muddy, so shoes suitable for mud should be worn. Some tools such as hand saws, clippers and pruners will be provided by the Conservation Commission, but if you also have tools like this, please bring them. Conservation Administrator Brian Monahan will be present to point out what has to be done.

Bring your own lunch if you would like to picnic in this quiet oasis after the work party.  For more information contact Betty Salzberg.
