The Garden Around the Corner
Since 2017 the Garden Around the Corner, overseen by the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition (TOSCAC), has operated as an educational and sharing garden to local residents and food pantries.
Our community's “new normal” of social distancing, shuttered businesses, lost wages, and closed schools have led to more local families facing hunger. We believe nutritious food and herbs should be accessible to everyone. This is why this year, more than ever, the Garden Around the Corner is deeply committed to growing vegetables for Putnam County Action Partnership and partnering with Cornell Cooperative Extension teaching others how to grow and eat healthily.
This garden is planted, watered and picked by a host of volunteers. Please reach out to info@culturalartsco.com with the title "Garden" if you would like to be part of this project. Our garden is something you can do for your community.
Best Practices for Community Garden Management during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Effective immediately garden management is implementing the following practices for any garden volunteers:
- Wear a face mask at all times in the garden
- Do not visit the garden if you feeling ill, showing signs of illness or have had contact with someone who is sick
- Do not visit the garden if you are part of any high-risk group: older adults, or people of any age with underlying medical conditions
- Wash/sanitize your hands before and after visiting the garden
- Maintain social distancing guidelines of remaining at least 6 feet apart at all times
- Limit interactions and time spent in the garden
- Bring and used their own tools
- Minimize contact with surfaces (e.g., water valves hose, doorknobs etc.)
- sanitize tools before and after garden work
- do not eat or drink in the garden
As vegetable gardeners, we have tremendous biological wealth. While we may not always have cash, we have access to plants, seeds, and soil that are the foundation of life. We want to share that wealth and help our community through this time of struggle.
We are in this together.
TOSCAC is closely monitoring the recent developments around the new coronavirus infection, and are following local, state, and CDC guidance on the public health crisis.
Gail Carson LEvine Virtual Reading
Please join Gail Carson Levine for a free virtual event hosted by the Studio Around the Corner on Monday, June 8th at 7:00 pm. Best known for writing Ella Enchanted, which won a Newbery honor award and was made into a major motion picture, Gail will present her latest novel for children and young adults.
In A Ceiling Made of Eggshells, Gail tells the moving story of Loma, a young Jewish girl caught up in the events that lead to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. Loma must save her family and play her own role in her people’s epic history—no matter the sacrifice. A Ceiling Made of Eggshells has received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal. Kirkus calls the novel "Heart pounding and heart wrenching in equal measure."
Join Gail as she introduces her book, talks about the family history that led her to write it, and reveals some of the surprises she discovered in her research.
