It’s official! After years of planning, community gardens are coming to Elmwood Park (affectionately known by locals as Roxy Park)!
Applications for garden boxes now open
Applications are now open for garden space where you’ll be able to grow in a full sun location. Selection is by lottery, but residents of Glenelm, Chalmers and Elmwood will take priority. Boxes are 5’ wide at the outer side, 2.5’ wide at the inner side and 8’ long. We’re situated near the river and the Elmwood Park’s Glenwood Crescent entrance.
We need YOU!
In the coming weeks, we’ll be building garden boxes for the community garden, and we’ll need help!
We’re looking for handy folks who can put together boxes, and helpful folks who’d be willing to help fill boxes with soil.
If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to RoxyCommunityGarden@gmail.com.
