First Things First, Where Are We?

Please TURN off Route 28 onto Tihonet Road, and go about 0.6 miles (to just past a white house with a white split-rail fence).  There will be an open area on the RIGHT and if you go in about 25 feet, you will come to two posts which either will or may have a cable across them.  The garden area is just beyond and will be about 40 plots when we are up and running.

AD Makepeace is being extremely generous, not only providing the land, but they have also offered to both lay out the plots, and to roto-till the land leaving grass areas in between to walk in.  And they also, have promised to bring in water, either to a central spigot, or posssibly to sprinklers.

The Tihonet Village Market is also generously going to provide our members with discount cards to use at the market-and we thank them for that.

If you are not familiar with Wareham Community Gardens and if this is your first contact with us is online: We would be pleased to hear from you! Please let us know what your needs and questions are, we will be more than happy to help.

We intend to keep things as simple as possible, and will have a few "ground" rules.  Essentially, we want the process to be as close to organic gardening as possible.  So that means we wiil only use organic fertilizers that are "natural," such as phosphate, or blood meal for fertilizers.  In addition, only natural means will be used to eliminate "pests" (that does not mean on neighbors!!).

Given that the area is open, deer may or may not be a problem.  the Chief Planter, has a product that he has commercialized and will be made available at cost to those who wish to purchase it.  Appropriately named "Dick's Dragon and Deer Repellent" it has been very successfully used in home gardens.  No dragons have been seen, and the deer who have "visited" have not even taken a nibble. So, it seems to work.
