Country Village opens Rooster’s garden

Published 10:00 pm Monday, March 9, 2009

Rooster’s Rendezvous Community Garden will hold its first official work party at 9:30 a.m. March 14 at Country Village, 23718 Bothell-Everett Highway in Bothell, weather permitting. Bring your boots, shovels and ideas and help construct raised beds.

The garden is located on land donated by the village and is just inside the main entrance to Country Village. The Loveless family is also donating the labor to prep the site for planting by building a new fence around the area, adding an area for tool storage and compost bins, and putting in gravel paths. The site will accommodate approximately 20 4-by-12-foot spaces, which will be leased to interested gardeners for a nominal fee ($35 per year for one bed, $55 per year for two beds) to help defray the expense of watering. Spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Information: e-mail info@countryvillagebothell.com.
