By ERIC A. 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-

tion.
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-

come available. 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.
