Board report: community garden prospects and October sculpture unveiling at Creamery Park

In a brief board report, a council liaison said a community‑garden proposal for a location off Sixth Street (in Dickerson Park) has sponsors interested in funding raised beds but raised questions about how the garden would be watered and whether irrigation would be charged to the town water system. The board report said staff will bring more information back to the council, and that water costs or watering logistics will factor into any final plan. A councilor suggested rain‑catchment barrels or other lower‑cost alternatives rather than connecting to potable town water. The board also announced a public unveiling and dedication of a seasonal sculpture as part of the Scarecrow Festival; the ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 3 at 4:45 p.m. at Creamery Park. Councilors encouraged residents to attend.
