In attendance: Gayle Shugars, Gerry Terwilliger and Patty Overstreet
This was a relatively short meeting.
Gayle brought up that Divide Creek in Silt will be hosting some well known guest speakers and will email further information.
Gayle reported in an email from Mary Holley, that Mary had investigated the possibility of a CG at Roaring Fork Club. RFC did not feel they had the place or the staff for this idea. Mary is continuing to investigate the possibility of space on the old Emma Townsite.
Gayle is continuing her efforts to contact Scott Fitzwilliam (Forest Service District Supervisor) to discover more information about the Peoples Garden Initiative.
We discussed the Homestead Community Garden and decided to call all the gardeners to see who would and who would not be in attendance at the upcoming picnic. Patty will develop a short questionnaire which we can use as needed to get gardeners input from the past season as well as ideas for running the garden next season.
We discussed the Town’s public garden site as well as a possible separate site at the high school. Fran is working to assess the level of commitment from teachers, students and administrators at the high school site to help determine if this site can stand on its own or if it should be incorporated into the town community garden site. Gerry will contact the town to determine if MVCGC should go forward with the task of developing plans for the community garden or is there another entity that has been working toward that same goal that we should be collaborating with. He will also speak with the town to determine their timeline with the water line installation and bringing electric to the site.
