5/20/2020

1 Comment

The St. Michaels Community Garden is kicking off its 8th season of providing community members with space to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruits, and more for personal consumption or for donation, as chosen by the gardeners themselves.

The garden includes 40, 4-foot by 14-foot beds rented on a yearly basis. A dedicated group of community members maintains paths, raised beds, and shared equipment, while always recruiting new volunteers. The community garden provides water, hoses, and gardening tools, with participants including St. Michaels in Bloom and Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers, among other groups and individuals.

The St. Michaels Community Garden began in 2012 on land leased through the Town of St. Michaels and with support of an Eagle Scout project, and is located between Fremont and Conner Streets.

The St. Michaels Community Center serves as fiscal agent for the community garden, with the $5 per year/per bed rental fee and other donations helping to maintain the property year-round.

All beds for the 2020 season are now rented. Social distancing measures outlined by the State of Maryland and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will be adhered to for the season. Participants are also encouraged to bring and use their own tools or sanitize shared tools before and after each use.

The St. Michaels Community Center promotes and provides quality activities and services contributing to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the community. SMCC is dedicated to filling the unmet needs of the Bay Hundred and St. Michaels communities by providing supervised program opportunities for the enrichment of children and teens; activities and services for adults and senior citizens; and affordable recreational, social, and educational activities to community residents of all ages, regardless of ethnicity, gender or economic status.

Donations to SMCC and proceeds from the Treasure Cove Thrift Shop in St. Michaels, Md. help the nonprofit provide year-round programs, services, and community events for people from throughout the Bay Hundred area.

Important Message: Senior Programs Suspended

March, 12, 2020

Dear Community Partners and Friends,

Today, Maryland Department of Aging Secretary Rona Kramer issued a directive to close all Maryland Senior Centers until further notice.

The effort is to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), especially among our seniors.

While SMCC isn’t categorized strictly as a Senior Center, we do benefit from Upper Shore Aging, which will discontinue providing meals until further notice.

With this, the St. Michaels Community Center is also suspending our Wednesday senior programs until further notice, with any updates emailed to you as soon as possible, and posted to our website here.

The St. Michaels Community Center will continue to have grocery bags of basic food staples available to anyone in need, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, when non-perishable donations will also be accepted.

We remain vigilant in our practices while SMCC remains open and other programs continue, and encourage others to practice the same hand-washing, sanitizing, and other precautionary measures that help reduce the spread of all diseases.

We have not heard from the Maryland Food Bank or the Health Department regarding the Community Cafe or food distribution as of this writing.

We will send updates to you here, as they occur. And in the meantime, if you have any questions, please email me, or call 410-745-6073.

Thank you for your partnership as part of the heart of our community.

Warmly,

Executive Director,
St. Michaels Community Center
