The City of Woodstock's Environmental Commission has been granted approval from the City Council to facilitate its Phase One plan for the Woodstock GREENS Community Garden. The garden is located on a 1-acre City-owned parcel on Castle Road, near Waterleaf Lane and initially consists of 36 4 feet by 12 feet raised organic garden beds for Woodstock-resident gardeners. The annual rental fee for one raised bed is $40 and two beds are $60. As funds are raised, additional beds will be offered. Through this project, the City and it's Environmental Commission are interested in not only providing land for its residents that don’t have sufficient space to garden, but also providing community engagement and awareness of healthy foods. The project, known as Woodstock Community GREENS, uses an acronym that conveys the group’s objectives. Gardening for...Recreation, Environment, Education, Nutrition, and Stewardship.
