berries and fruits for humans and animals to enjoy. This year we are enjoying another new spectrum of color as our

perennial plants grow into maturity. We are enjoying our third season of public berries this summer, and we have begun

counting the number of bird, bee and butterfly species that are making a home at the Trail. Come visit this beautiful and

The Victory Garden: Supporting Newtown’s Food PantriesYour help is needed to produce fresh produce to the food pantries in Newtown.The food pantries provide food to over 2000

residents of Newtown. The pantries are exclusively for the use of Newtown residents. Presently most of these foods are canned,

dried or frozen. Last season the Victory Garden provided over 3,500 pounds of fresh, healthy produce to our neediest families.The

Victory Garden has doubled in size, and thanks to some very generous donors, the new garden has high tensile steel woven deer

fencing. The Parks & Recreation Department cultivates the soil and provides irrigation. The site has full sun, and parking is nearby.

The Victory Garden is supported by the Town of Newtown and the Newtown Parks & Recreation Department.

DONATE: All donations are made through the Parks & Recreation Department: Park Gift Fund, Memo: Victory Garden.

Some guidelines of the garden:

v Volunteers should form teams, and will be given a 150 square foot plot of garden. The produce will go directly to the food

pantries. Share the work with a team; learn from each other and from other teams.

v Each team should have a placard/sign on its row with a team name. The funnier, the better!

v There are no fees associated with the garden.

v No non-organic herbicides or pesticides are allowed in the garden. Fertilizers are allowed.

v Help with the garden preparation and planning.

v Are you an experienced gardener? Teach novice gardeners and students. Hold a workshop or class at the garden.

v Students needing volunteer hours are welcome along with Girl Scout and Eagle Scout projects.

v No time to commit to owning a row? The uncommitted can garden without owning a row, but may help others with

community or shared rows.

To sign up to “Own a Row”, or to help in other ways, contact: [email protected]

Please note: Last year’s volunteers get right of first refusal

Together, let’s make the Victory Garden the Best of Newtown!!!
