Happy New Year, Gardening Enthusiasts!
As the days get longer and we step into the fresh soil of 2024, the Mid Shooks Run Community Garden extends warm holiday wishes to each and every one of you. May this new year bring bountiful harvests, flourishing blooms, and a garden of joy for each plot and every gardener.
Reflecting on 2023: A Year of Community and Growth
Looking back, 2023 was a remarkable year for our community garden. The beds were bursting with life, and the air was filled with the shared stories of our collective gardening journey. Our sunflowers were incredibly abundant this year! Your commitment to nurturing this space and each other has truly made our garden blossom into a vibrant hub of community and fellowship.

Welcoming New Faces to the Board
In the spirit of growth and diversity, we are thrilled to announce the addition of two new gardeners to our Board. Their passion for cultivating community and green spaces will undoubtedly enrich the initiatives we embark on in the coming year. A warm welcome to John and Amanda, who join us in steering our garden toward new horizons.
Setting Our Sights on 2024: A Year of Engaging and Strengthening
As we embrace the possibilities of the new year, our collective goals for 2024 are clear:
Increasing Community Engagement: Your enthusiasm fuels the heart of our garden. In 2024, we aspire to foster even greater involvement, whether through workshops, events, or collaborative projects that make our shared space thrive.
Strengthening Partnerships: Together, we grow stronger. We are committed to strengthening our partnerships with local community organizations, aligning our efforts to create a more resilient, interconnected, and sustainable neighborhood.
This year, let's continue to sow the seeds of friendship, nurture the bonds of community, and cultivate a garden that not only flourishes in abundance but also in the spirit of shared joy and shared responsibility.
Thank you for being the roots that anchor our garden, and here's to another year of growing together!
