HOWALD Of the Keizertimes As a new fence went up around the Rickman Com- munity Garden Saturday, May 27, Peggy Moore wanted to kiss every post and hug each of the fi ve volunteers who made it possible. “We needed this so bad. Whenever we’ve talked to the other gardeners, this was the thing they wanted most,” Peg- gy said. Peggy and her husband, Jerry, are the garden coordina- tors. The garden, which sits west of the Keizer Civic Center in Chalmers Jones Park, makes gardening possible for 17 local families without the space to do one in their own yards. Un- fortunately, theft at the garden made the fence a necessity. But the youth hanging out at the nearby skate park weren’t the problem. “The kids might climb up on the roof of the shed, but we’ve caught a number of neighbors who come into the garden with plastic shopping bags and pick whatever they want. And it’s not just one person, it’s dif- ferent people over and over,” Peggy said. “We have one fam- ily that plants strawberries and hardly got any last year.” Moore said she caught one person with two plastic bags of produce and, when she con- fronted the woman, it turned out she had also taken seed- ling plants that were intended for the gardeners. On another occasion, the same “dedicated thief ” was seen pushing anoth- er plastic bag down the back of her pants to avoid a confronta- KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.

And that wasn’t even the most brazen of the incidents. “I was working on my bed last year and I was trying a new kind of tomato and they were coming in big and green. A man came by and told me that he just went down to the South and had fried green tomatoes and they were so good. He said he was going to come back and get some of the tomatoes on my plot,” Peggy said. Peggy told the man that the produce belongs to the garden- ers who pay for their spaces and he walked off. When Peggy and Jerry came back to water their plot within the following 48 hours, all the green tomatoes were gone. That was one of the more frustrating parts about the fence, Jerry said. “It’s taking a $3,000 fence to keep four or fi ve people out of the garden,” Jerry said. Most of the spaces in the community garden are taken by low- and fi xed-income fami- lies, and Peggy said she keeps a waiting list for when plots be- Cut the Cable! CALL DIRECTV. Bundle & Save!

The new fence will have two gates, one large enough to accommodate a ve- hicle and a smaller one, with coded locks for gardeners to access when needed. The garden is truly a com- munity effort, when the plot owners have excess, it is typi- cally donated to Simoka Place. Peggy and Jerry recently built a raised garden bed for a plot owner with mobility issues. “Now she can just sit on the side of the bed and do her gar- dening,” Jerry said. The fence was made possi- ble through a $1,700 matching grant from the Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and numerous smaller donations. “We went to a lot of the smaller family-owned busi- nesses and we got a lot of $10 and $20 donations from a lot of people,” Peggy said. Rotary Club of Keizer vol- unteers Mark Caillier, Bob Shackelford, Nathan Bauer, Rich Michael and Danny Dietz pitched in to install the fence. While looking for fi nancial support, Peggy and Jerry also received a donation of wine barrels from Willamette Valley Vineyards. They plan on turn- ing them into herb gardens. “We’re always looking for the plants we can take out of the individual plots – like squash that take up a lot of space – and put into commu- nity beds,” Peggy said. Her next project is fi nding someone with shepherd hooks and hanging fl ower baskets to put up inside the fence to at- tract pollinators.
