The 29th Street Community Garden started in spring of 2009. This is a pilot program for community gardens here on the island, Anacortes. There are eleven 10'X20' plots which many are split in half, two additional plots that are used by the food banks here on the island and six smaller plots designated for children. ADA plots will be built for the 2010 spring planting. These plots will be raised beds for gardeners who may be in wheelchairs or need raised beds to work in. The plots are sold annually for those who do not have an area to plant and given to those who have low income and would like to grow fruits and vegetables. We also hold classes, open to the public, at the community garden that help not only the gardeners but anyone interested in learning how to garden, compost, identify bugs, etc.
