Community Space Upgraded
Wall Street Community Garden has improved its shared gardening and leisure area.
The space, intended for the enjoyment of neighbors, is located just outside the main gate on Wall Street.
A shared community garden box and numerous sack gardens have already been in use for the past two seasons.
2024 Fee Increase
2024 saw the first membership fee increase in more than 15 years.
2024’s AGM has voted unanimously to raise annual membership fees from $20 to $35.
The Garden Board had recommended the increase to tackle the many repairs facing the garden.
This year, the board hopes to use some of the new revenue to repair the two garden gates.
Other repairs expected in coming years include replacing the garden fence and fixing the toolshed, both nearly 25 years old.
