Alder Creek Farm row garden.
Registration now open for
Nehalem Community Garden
NEHALEM — Registration is now open
for the Community Garden at Alder Creek
Farm, a program of the Lower Nehalem
Community Trust. This community opera-
tion offers opportunities for first-time and
experienced gardeners alike to grow their
own food.
This year marks the 17th season of gar-
den operations. The Lower Nehalem Com-
munity Trust established a garden, teaching
and using organic processes, to increase the
capacity of northern Tillamook County com-
munity members to grow healthy food using
practices that are mindful to local ecologies
The Community Garden is operated
cooperatively by members who grow, learn
and share together. Members must work
a minimum of three hours a week or 100
hours during the season, and will share their
organically-grown harvest amongst them-
selves, as well as with the North County
Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist
Church Pantry and Senior Meals Program.
Registration is on a first-come, first-serve
basis, and costs $60 per family to ensure
seed, soil amendments, and tools. Schol-
arships are also available. COVID policies
will be adjusted as the community navigates
the ongoing pandemic. To learn more or to
register, visit www.nehalemtrust.org.
