New Community Garden At
Full Capacity
On May 17, 2018 Darke County Parks held its first information session
on the newly constructed community garden at Ohio Street’s Bish
Discovery Center. The response was extremely positive. By
June 1, a mere fifteen days after the initial session, all 21 raised
beds had been rented. Looking out across the space there are now
beds full of plants, a cozy gazebo to rest out of the sun, rain barrels
to provide water and pavers to provide a sturdy surface for
walking. It is the hope of the Park District that this garden
becomes a place to meet, learn, and relax.
There are two programs scheduled this summer - Succession Planting on
July 19 @6:30pm and Freezing and Drying Your Harvest on Aug. 14
@6:30pm. Pre-registration is required however these programs are
free and open to the public. For more information or to sign up
for these programs please call 937-548-0165. Darke County Parks
is proud to be the recipient of a grant from RAB Lighting that was the
catalyst for initiating this project.
