Limited Spots Available For Manhattan Community Garden

MANHATTAN, IL — The Village of Manhattan is putting out a call for residents with green thumbs to join in the Manhattan Community Garden, located behind the Well House at 520 W. North St.

There are 12 plots available, and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, according to Village Finance Clerk, Kristen Reinke. The Village is time-stamping applications as those come in to make sure those who applied first get dibs on a plot, Reinke said.

The Community Garden was created via a resolution Feb. 1 by the Village of Manhattan Board of Trustees, according to Village documents.

Those interested in participating in the Community Garden must fill out a free application, sign a copy of the community bylaws and return those documents to the Manhattan Village Hall, 260 Market Place. Only residents of Manhattan may apply.
