Community Garden Guidelines
The St. Michaels Community Garden Committee and others, under the auspices of the St .Michaels Community Center have been working to create a Community Garden on the
property between Conner Street and Fremont Street, adjacent to Carpenter Alley. The garden will consist of forty raised beds, compost bins, several benches, and a small garden
shed. The Town Commissioners have enthusiastically agreed to give the Community Center a five year commitment commencing October 15, 2011 to build and sustain a garden at
this site. The Community Garden will benefit the community in many ways. It will give residents access to fresh produce, educate children and adults in good gardening and eating
practices, and turn a vacant parcel into a vital and appealing space where people may gather, work together and socialize in a space that builds community.
With limited publicity, applications have already been filed for 22 available beds. Phase II of the project will add additional beds for a total of 40. Methodist Men of Union United
Methodist Church have reserved two beds with the intent to contribute their produce to seniors. The St. Michaels Community Center and the YouFood Project are partnering on a
two bed gardening program for children. The Master Gardeners will be providing workshops on site for gardeners who may need assistance or just want to learn more about
seasonal planting, pruning, harvesting                                                               
or anything related to gardening.                                                               
St. Michaels is growing.........
SMCC's announces the Community Garden and the YouFood Project
The St. Michaels Community Center on Railroad
Avenue was transformed into a festive holiday
gathering place where friends and neighbors
shared holiday cheer and a delicious dinner. On
Saturday, December 24, approximately 76 meals
were served to community members. The meal
was a delicious success thanks to the following
local businesses/individuals for their food
donations: Mark Chew from Marco’s, Jon Mason
at Town Dock, Jack and Delores Antwerpen at
Sweeties, Ann Borders, Andrea Gray and help
from Ilene Morgan. A special thanks also goes out
to Graul’s Supermarket for not only providing
delicious rolls but also for allowing us to set up a
collection site for non-perishables at their store so
that each guest at the dinner could receive a bag
of groceries as they left. Volunteers from the
Talbot County 4H Club and St. Michaels Middle
and High Schools helped with setup, serving and
cleanup. Holiday music was performed by Rick
and Zuzu Forrest.
