Our first gardens in 2010 were a great success in spite of multiple frost and freeze events… We built the #2 Garden in 2011 and shared a wonderful second season. Our #3 Garden was constructed in the summer of 2012 and was full of happy gardeners during our third season. Now, we are currently preparing our garden beds in anticipation of a fabulous fourth season of collective food gardening. As of May 4th, 2013- all of our season four spaces have been reserved. We are currently accepting names on our waiting list for the 2013/14 Season.
Our goal is to offer something for everyone who wants affordable, fresh, organic and local food, so here are your options at Shadowood:
- You can rent a garden space and learn to grow your own food. Sorry, but we are currently full for our Fall 2013 spaces. Become a General Member to be placed on our Waiting List.
- OR….You have the option of becoming a General Member for $35 per season. With a General membership you have the opportunity to attend classes, seminars, the option to buy veggies from Shadowood gardeners at ultra reasonable prices, 6 days a week.
