Alpine's 'Stone Soup' Community Garden

We are creating a community garden in the park in downtown Alpine, Oregon (across from the school). Due to watering limitations, and the desire for a project that unites us as a community, it is one large plot (instead of many individual plots). We are focusing on growing crops that can be stored easily for the winter: potatoes and squash etc., and foods that can be canned: tomatoes and pickles etc. All work is being done by volunteers, and all materials are being donated. The harvest will be available to those who contribute to the garden. Any surplus will be donated to the food-bank or others in need. We think of this as a 'Stone Soup' garden, where if each of us shares a little of what we have, whether that’s time or materials, that we’ll be able to grow food for all to enjoy.
