If you haven't had the opportunity to visit the Goshen Farm, this weekend is a terrific opportunity. The Goshen Farm Preservation Society will be holding a "Garden Shower" on Saturday from 10 - 2 to celebrate the opening of the Goshen Farm Sharing Garden. Land has been cleared on the grounds of the old homestead to create a community garden. Plots are rented in 10 X 10 or 5 X 20 foot parcels, and gardeners can plant and grow to their heart's content.
It's really a beautiful spot. You get the sense of being on a hidden plateau perched above the Cape. This picture doesn't do a bit to show that. I just happened to take it when I was up there a couple of weeks ago browsing for my own plots. I was ambitious and requested two of them. After spring break, I have to put some backbone into my ambition and get my garden planted.
If you are free tomorrow, stop by, have a look around, and join in the fun. This group has taken on the really meaningful task of preserving a piece of Cape history. It is a true labor of love on their part, and they would love to involve as many Capers as possible in the restoration of this special property. This weekend is a great chance to check things out and get on board.
Even if you aren't interested in gardening, come visit the site and see what's happening. The Goshen Farm Preservation Society has a broad range of activities to interest anyone. It's a great walking destination from anywhere in the Cape and an absolute gem.
Here is a link to the Goshen Farm website. It in turn has a link to the Sharing Garden information. There is also a Sharing Garden blog that has information specific to happenings associated with the garden. You can also visit the Facebook pages for both the Goshen Farm Preservation Society and the Goshen Farm Sharing Garden. They have better and more updated pictures of the garden.
