The spring/summer season at Jacobs Well Community Garden
officially began March 1. In addition to most of our former gardeners, we
have welcomed some newcomers to the garden and still have several beds
available for others who want to garden with us this season.
An organic garden, JWCG welcomes both the experienced and
the novice gardener. There is always something new to learn in gardening
organically. The garden has a small lending library that is helpful to
gardeners throughout the seasons. Whether it's choosing the right plants
or battling the pests that inevitably appear, our library as well as our
"seasoned" gardeners are a great resource.
At the start of only our third year
of gardening, the JWCG is still growing. Our mission is to build, grow,
and sustain the Wimberley Valley's first community organic garden with
rainwater collection system.
Gardening at JWCG is open to anyone in the Wimberley Valley
who pays a one-time membership fee of $25 plus a $30 rental fee per garden bed
reserved. Concrete block raised garden beds are approximately 4 feet wide
and 14 feet long. Soil and tap water are provided. Currently we
have one rainwater collection tank on-site, and have plans to vastly increase
rain collection as a major source of water for the garden. Our rainwater
collection plans will be realized as more member-gardeners and funds increase.
Whether your interest is in hands-on gardening,
supporting good locally-grown food, or volunteering for garden projects, the
Jacobs Well Community (Organic) Garden has a place for you. For more information or to reserve a garden bed, call garden coordinators Karen @ 512-568-4462 or Tom @ 512-940-6828
