Chelan Community Gardens begins our 6th year with the 2012 growing season. We're open to new members and we're looking to grow more local food than ever before. This website is for existing members and those considering participation in Chelan Community Gardens.
Solid Rock Farm becomes CHELAN COMMUNITY GARDENS
After five years at our original locatoin, Solid Rock Farm is moving on to land at John and Fran Farrell's farm right next to the Chelan Airport.
Chelan Micro-Gardens:
Our first micro-garden was a great success during the summer of 2011. Watermelon. Cantaloupe. Giant Pumpkins. Though only Lars had permission from the owner to garden this streetside area, the plot got lots of neighborhood attnetion and produced wheelbarrows full of squach and melons.
Worldwide and National news has more and more articles about communities developing their in-town gardening programs. The melon patch was a start - we have energy for more. Discussion are in process. If you're interested in helping grow this idea into thriving Chelan vegetable patches, please let us know.
