Council discusses community garden plan; steering committee and logistics recommended
Summary
Council members discussed a community garden proposal and recommended forming a steering committee led by a master gardener to study water, fencing, security, storage, tools and site requirements; Councilman Gomez will investigate next steps.
Councilwoman Ruane said Councilman Gomez proposed establishing a community garden in West Long Branch and that the environmental, shade and beautification committees recommended forming a steering committee with a master gardener leading the effort. The council discussed practical considerations including water access, fencing and security, storage, tools, and site requirements such as flat terrain, adequate sun and drainage.
Monmouth University's membership/plot model was mentioned as a potential framework. Councilman Gomez said he will investigate the idea further before the council moves to any formal action.
