Welcome to 2025
Happy New Year, Gardeners!
May 2025 bring you plenty of opportunities to connect with the earth, enjoy the beauty of nature, and grow something wonderful—both in and out of the garden.
Welcoming the new Board of Directors
In the spirit of growth and new beginning, we are thrilled to announce the non-profit incorporation of Mid Shooks Run Community Garden, effective 1 January, 2025. As a non-profit corporation, Mid Shooks Run Community Garden is excited to transition into a new governance structure. The Board of Directors will be succeeding the guidance team, streamlining decision-making and enhancing our ability to serve the community effectively. This change allows for clearer lines of accountability and more cohesive leadership, which is essential for the garden's growth and development. We believe this transition will strengthen our community ties and make our garden a more vibrant and sustainable place for everyone involved.
A Note for Returning Gardeners
Returning gardeners from 2024: keep an eye on your inbox this month! We’ll be reaching out via email to gauge your interest in gardening with us this year. Look for a personalized message from msrgardencos@gmail.com and be sure to reply by January 31st to reserve your spot at Mid Shooks Run Community Garden this growing season.
2025 Goals
We’re excited to announce our two primary goals for the year:
Maximizing Our Expanded Space: By midseason, we aim to have a detailed layout that will make the most of our newly expanded 1,000-square-foot area, and be in the process of implementing these plans. We’ll use this space to increase the number of plots available and to plant fruit-bearing trees and bushes. If you have ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Securing Grant Funding: We’re working to obtain at least one grant by the end of the year to support our initiatives and help the garden flourish. If you see an opportunity that aligns, please send us the details!
There will be plenty of opportunities to help make these goals a reality, so stay tuned for ways to get involved.
