Become a part of the Oxford Community Garden, located on the grounds of the Old National Guard Armory on University Ave at Bramlett Blvd. See map for directions. And take a look at this satellite image. Our mission is to enhance the well-being and beauty of the community by assisting people in growing fresh produce, providing locally-grown food to people in need, increasing social interaction in the community, and creating an educational garden in an attractive setting. WORK DAY The garden is looking the best it has in any April since the beginning, but there is some work to be done, so let's get to it: What: Work Day #1 of 2013 Why: Clean-up of perimeter beds, the blueberry bed, and our pathways, and to generate garden camaraderie! When: Sunday, April 21, 11 am to 2 pm We have a lot of new plot holders this year, so this work day will be a great chance for everyone to get to know each other while working toward the common goal of whipping the garden into shape. The forecast is for partly cloudy skies, 70 degrees and 0% chance of rain -- in other words, a great day to be at the garden. if you cannot come out for this work day please, when you are at your plot next, allow some extra time to *remove* weeds from the walkways around your plot, and add wood chips if needed. Note that just covering up weeds with chips only sets them back, pulling is the best way to keep them from returning. Become a member of the Oxford Community Garden
