TREPA is remaining active in Yarmouth’s community gardens with members of our board Margrit Robinson and Dan Earle helping as they can.
Parents’ Place: The Tricounty Local Food Network, with Margrit as the TREPA representative, with funds from “New Horizon”, is helping to restore the water supply system. Water is collected from an adjacent roof and stored in tanks for use. Dan has been helping with tilling and grass trimming.
Fence repairs and general maintenance after the winter are needed. Some beds have been spoken for already. A senior is required to teach some children who are taking the cooking classes to grow vegetables. One bed is reserved for them. No senior has been found yet to teach. Additional help and suggestions are welcome.
South Cenntenial School: There are plans to build a boxed, raised bed to grow radishes and carrots this summer, then collect eelgrass into the box and grow potatoes in it next summer.
