The Margaret Ellis Community Garden, located at the Morris Farm Trust in Wiscasset, is now accepting applications for garden plots for the 2015 growing season.

This year marks the sixth season of Community Gardening at the Morris Farm. Community gardening offers opportunities for growing tasty and nutritious produce, developing community identity, ownership and stewardship, lowering food bills, meeting new neighbors, forming new friendships, and reducing dependence on fossil fuel.

Garden plots are 10’ by 20’ and cost $30 for a season rental. An excellent solution for those whose home yards do not offer adequate space, sunlight or soil for gardening, the Margaret Ellis Community Garden plots are available to all residents of Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties.

The more than 20 plots available include a common plot where vegetables are grown for sale at the Morris Farm Store, as well as donations to area food banks.

Applications may be requested by calling Anne at 207-380-7154 or emailing mf.comgardens@gmail.com. Applications may also be picked up at the Morris Farm office.
