The
Tahsis Community Garden is a peaceful green gem located at the end of the Riverside
Trailer Park. Surrounded by deer fence, it
offers raised bed garden plots, elevated ‘tabletop’ gardens, a large
greenhouse, and is the site of the Tahsis Farm to School garden. The Tahsis Community Garden Society supports
Tahsis Days with an annual donation to the Silent Auction as well as presenting
the ever-popular Slugfest. Based on the
success of last year’s Summer Solstice Potluck, there are plans to make this an
annual event. Garden volunteers always
man a table at the PAC Bazaars – we’ll be at the Spring Bazaar on May 5th.
Gardening has great health
benefits including increased exposure to Vitamin D, lowered stress hormone
levels, increased physical strength and flexibility, the positive psychological
effects of being in nature, and gardeners choose what to grow and harvest their
produce at its nutritional peak.
The annual membership fees
are $20 for a raised bed, $10 for a tabletop, and greenhouse plots are $10 as
an add-on, or $15 as a stand-alone.
Shelving in the greenhouse is free to members for starting their veggies
or flowers.
Currently, we have 4 raised
beds and 8 tabletop beds available for the 2018 gardening season.
Membership involves a
commitment to participate in the overall maintenance of the garden by helping
out at the Spring and Fall work parties and taking on a general chore for the
season.
No one is asked to
contribute beyond their physical abilities; any undertaking large or small,
supports the whole.
The community garden is a registered non-profit society.
