Hello Gardeners. Are you ready to start another season of community gardening? We sure are! With spring right around the corner it's time to start planning our gardens. Join us for the Milford Community Garden Spring Meeting on April 8 from 10am-12pm at the Milford Public Library, Community Meeting Room (to your right as you enter). All returning and new gardeners are invited to attend to secure plots for 2017. We will provide an overview of the garden, our values/mission, discuss gardener responsibilities, 2017 contract, and answer any questions you may have. After contracts are received you will be assigned a plot. Attached
