HIGHLIGHTS
Get Ready for Community Gardening!
Eau Claire County is again offering garden plots for rent at
the Community Garden Site located on Jeffers Road, just off the
North Crossing. This is the same location as in previous
years.
New in 2007 was the installation of a water hydrant for renters
to water their garden plots. With the addition of water
at the site, we have a slight increase in rentals fees for 2008. A
20' x 50' plot will rent for $32.
Please call our office at (715) 839-4712. if you have any questions
or concerns. The Extension Office hours are Monday through
Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
