Residents benefit from Kerrobert’s community garden

By Joan Janzen

Sixteen Kerrobert residents are enjoying a bountiful harvest of garden produce thanks to the availability of garden plots in the Kerrobert Community Garden. This is the second year the town of Kerrobert leased 8’ x 15’ sized garden plots at the affordable cost of $25.00.

Eighteen plots were available for anyone who wanted a garden but didn’t have the space. This growing season, sixteen of the eighteen plots were claimed.

Kerrobert’s Recreation Director, Marli Shepherd, reported the town has received some positive feedback from the project. “With rising grocery prices, people who don’t have space in their yards are wanting a garden,” she explained. During this harvest season, Kerrobert’s community gardeners enjoy the fruit of their labour.
