LUCERNE – An effort to form a community garden in Lucerne is under way.

Organizers have secured permission to use county-owned land on the lakeshore at the end of 13^th Avenue (The Strand).

In addition to enthusiastic volunteers, the garden needs large water tanks, a water pump, materials for the watering system (tubing, connectors, sprayers, drippers), 2 x 12 boards for raised beds, chicken wire, seeds, bedding plants, fertilizer, mulch, and tools including shovels and rakes.

An organizational meeting will be held at the location of the proposed garden at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 20.

Anyone wanting more information or hoping to make a donation to the effort should call Tricia Vandenberghe at 707-274-8510 or e-mail her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
