Rocky River Community Garden shares its bounty
By Barb Galbincea, Northeast Ohio Media Group
Sun News on October 29, 2013
The Rocky River Community Garden closed for the season last weekend, but not before providing more than 300 pounds of produce donated to the local food pantry and Meals on Wheels.
Among the gardeners contributing were students from nearby Magnificat High School, who tended a 5-by-20-foot plot and donated all the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, kale, beans, onions, squash, peppers and eggplant that their efforts produced. It was the first year that Seeds of Service, a new garden club at Magnificat, participated.
The garden itself, which is behind the Rocky River Senior Center, began in 2010 with about 34 plots and has grown to 51 spread over more than 12,000 square feet, said Teresa Kowalski, president of the community garden. The program has become so popular that Kowalski has a waiting list of people who want their own piece of the garden. Two of the plots -- one tended by the Magnificat garden club and another maintained by the community gardeners -- are reserved solely for donations to the Rocky River Assistance Program and Meals on Wheels. But she said many gardeners contribute their extra produce.
Mary Jo Rawlins, a campus ministry associate at Magnificat, said about seven girls volunteered to tend the Seeds of Service plot over the summer, watering and weeding. Now a group of about 14 is ready to pitch in on the service-learning project next year at the community garden and at expanded garden space at the high school, Rawlins said.
"I think they were amazed at what they grew," she said. "We're very happy with the way it turned out." Added Kowalski: "I thought it was just the greatest thing."
She said the garden is really an intergenerational undertaking, with
grandchildren working side by side with grandparents or whole families taking responsibility for a single plot. The 100-square-foot plots are $40 each and it's $20 each for those 50 square feet or for the raised planter boxes. Returning gardeners get first crack at a plot when the garden reopens for the season, followed by those on the waiting list and then other Rocky River residents.
The rules are pretty simple: No sunflowers and corn that could shade neighboring plots, no invasive species and no perennials that could be spread throughout the garden when the land is tilled at the end of the season. Flowers are encouraged. The organization provides wheelbarrows, hoes, rakes and shovels, but gardeners can also bring their own tools.
Kowalski said a "stalwart group of volunteers" has helped make the garden a success, crediting Mary Kay Wysong, the group's president for its first two years, for her tenacity and drive. Both Wysong and Kowalski are certified master gardeners. Kowalski also credited Rocky River Mayor Pam Bobst as the one who came up with the idea of the garden on city-owned land.
Kowalski said that support from the city -- with a special shout-out to the service department -- and from the community at-large have helped the garden prosper, citing local businesses that have contributed to the group's spring fundraiser. Like any endeavor dependent on weather, the garden has faced a few obstacles, such as the year that an excess of rain swamped some plots and left Kowalski refunding money.
But, overall, "I think it's a wonderful asset to the city," she said. "We got an awful lot done in four years. And I'm really proud."
