The City of Porterdale is so proud to
announce we have been selected for the location of the 2010 Community Garden
for the entire Newton County community. This is such a spectacular
opportunity for our city and its residents. We need your help
to spread the word of our new venture.
The tentative plans are as follows:
Description: 70+ raised beds in a
secured location.
Location: property adjacent to the
Porterdale City Hall 2200 Main
St., Porterdale, 30070
Sponsors: Master Gardeners, Newton Co.
Extension Service, Hands on Newton
Work day: Monday, Jan18th, Martin
Luther King Holiday 9:00am till 3:00pm
Now, the next step is to contact Ted Wynne,
Newton County Extension Coordinator, to express your interest in
the garden. From what I understand, there will be a small annual fee to
lease a raised bed. Remember there is very limited space and I know they will
go very quick. You can contact Mr. Wynne at 770-784-2010 or email him at
twynne@uga.edu.
