The Platteville Community Garden organizers are taking reservations for garden spaces for the 2017 season.  Four of the eight garden spots remain available in the city lot on Mineral St. across from Jenor Towers.   It’s in a sunny location and there is water available. A locked storage container on the site has garden tools to share.  It’s an easy walk from downtown and there is parking nearby. 

The Community Garden is being managed by the Platteville Main Street Program.  A $30 deposit is required to reserve each 4 by 8 foot space.  At the end of the season when the spot is cleared, $25 will be refunded and $5 will go to the city to pay for water.  Call soon.  The garden spots will be reserved on a first come, first served basis.  Call 608-348-4505 if you have questions or want to reserve your space.  You can also email at plattevillecommunitygarden@gmail.com

New for 2017
Ask about our new Senior Citizen Buddy Program.   Some college students from the CERES Fraternity at UWP have volunteered to be a garden buddy with a senior who is interested in having a garden but needs a little help with the garden chores.  The student and the senior would meet weekly.  They would work together taking care of planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting.  Call 608-348-4505 to learn more about the Senior Citizen Garden Buddy Program.
