Kennebunk garden reports harvest totals, flags signage and gate issues at PSS site
Summary
Committee minutes show combined harvest totals of 5,005.75 pounds (MHH + PSS), note separate MHH figures, and record a PSS update directing Leslie to contact Avesta about missing signs and a gate left open.
The Kennebunk Community Garden Committee recorded harvest and site-operation updates at its Feb. 25 meeting, reporting combined produce totals and raising concerns about signage and a gate at the PSS garden.
The minutes list harvest totals as follows: MHH 4,168.5 pounds and a combined total with PSS of 5,005.75 pounds. Separately, the minutes also record "MHH: 837.25 lbs total" (the minutes present both figures in different lines). The committee did not provide explanatory detail for the differing MHH figures in these notes.
Under PSS Update the minutes say, "Leslie will inquire who is our Avesta contact to address missing signs and the gate being left open." That language indicates the committee intends to follow up with Avesta to resolve signage and access concerns at the PSS garden.
Why it matters: Harvest totals illustrate the garden's contribution to local food production; site security and signage affect theft, safety, and volunteer access. The minutes do not include Avesta contact details, nor do they clarify the discrepancy between MHH figures.
Volunteer and community notes: The minutes also indicate a local veterinarian with small animal rescues requested food donations and that "it needs to be an assignment so two volunteers maintain it," suggesting the committee plans to assign volunteers to manage collections.
The minutes do not attribute these items to named speakers beyond recording Leslie as the person who will inquire about Avesta. The committee adjourned at 6:29 p.m.
