Highland Avenue Greenhouse & Farm Market is hosting their 3rd annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, October 18th.

The festival is fast becoming one of Scarborough's favorite Fall traditions. With games, refreshments, pony rides and much more - the festival is family-friendly fun for all ages. This year, proceeds from the event will benefit Project GRACE, and the nonprofit group will use the gift to support the Scarborough Community Garden!

Steering Committee Forms to Plan the Garden

10/15/2014

 
Community partners convened a steering committee meeting on November 4th to talk about the role and function of the leadership team. It was decided that the committee provides oversight and general guidance for the garden, and is responsible for securing support, funding, and talent. Additionally communications/marketing will be essential to help sustain the garden. Meetings will continue monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month until planting begins, and thereafter as needed. A garden coordinator will be responsible for coordinating the scheduling of gardeners, including planting, weeding, and harvesting volunteers. Next Meeting: 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 10, 2015 (2nd Tuesday of the month.) at St. Nick’s in Scarborough.

Steering Committee Members: Scott Ducott (chair), Jane Ducott (St. Nick's), Elizabeth Richter (Scarborough Garden Club), Steffi Cox (Project GRACE), Kathy Sparda (St. Max), Roger Doiron (KGI), Pam Hillman, Bill Nixon, ChrisTaylor.

 Soil Test: Baseline Data for Garden Health

10/6/2014

 
SoilTest
We sent a soil sample to the University of Maine and the results are in!  Our soil is in pretty good shape, with no major issues.

Some nourishment of the soil is needed, and can be easily accomplished by an application of compost, organic matter, and greensand. Ideally we'll amend the soil in the Fall so that it has time to incorporate into the garden before planting in the Spring.
