Sitting down to write this, I have to admit, I am distracted.  My littlest one is pushing buttons on the printer, I need to pick up my pre-schooler, and there’s dinner to be fixed (well, and the breakfast dishes still to be cleared!).  I’m sure this sounds just like your life too.  We are all busy people!

So here’s the news - fast.

The Early Street Community Garden has always been on borrowed time (and land!).  But over the course of the last three summers, something magical happened.  All of YOU made time for Early Street - to garden there, to take a class there, to hang out or go to a pot luck.  You’ve cared about one another, you’ve cared about the garden ...and the garden became more than a space to grow food. It became a community hub. 

Now there is an opportunity to change the path for this special place, from temporary to permanent.  Working with the Trust for Public Land, the administration for theTown of Morristown would like to preserve the land the garden is on, then lease it back to Grow it Green Morristown.  We’d run the community garden and put in a public park.  But we need your help to do it. 

It costs a lot of money to save land in urban areas. 

But it isn’t your money we need - we need your time.

Please come celebrate Valentine’s Day with us!  On Tuesday, Feb. 14th at 7:30 pm at the Morristown Town Hall (200 South St.) the Town Council will vote to approve (hopefully) an application to Green Acres to apply for the funding needed to save the Early Street Community Garden. Please come show your support for this project. 

Take a look back and see what you made possible...
