Adopt a Garden Plot Do you enjoy gardening? Or just being outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of summer? Maybe you have a group or company that participates in community service projects? If so, we’ve got the perfect project for you. Adopt one of the 32 garden plots in the Historic Zoar Gardens. The adoption process requires no monetary donation or payment, just your time and a little tender-loving-care. Each plot needs to be checked 2-3 times a month for weeds, light pruning if necessary, and adding a little mulch as needed. All of the heavy work has been completed, and light upkeep and maintenance is now needed. Historical Significance of the Zoar Garden A second function of the garden was its role as a pleasure garden. The people of the village could rest in the garden and enjoy its beauty and tranquility. The Separatists also took for their own needs, bulbs and cuttings cultivated by the gardener who lived in what is presently called the Garden House. Lastly, the garden provided an additional area for the growing of culinary and medicinal herbs, which were used for seasoning foods and curing ailments. The Zoar Garden Today Please call The Zoar Community Association at 330-874-3011, 330-874-2646, or e-mail us at zoarinfo@zca.org to sign up for your plot.

This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool. “By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal.

Adopt a Garden Plot Do you enjoy gardening? Or just being outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of summer? Maybe you have a group or company that participates in community service projects? If so, we’ve got the perfect project for you. Adopt one of the 32 garden plots in the Historic Zoar Gardens. The adoption process requires no monetary donation or payment, just your time and a little tender-loving-care. Each plot needs to be checked 2-3 times a month for weeds, light pruning if necessary, and adding a little mulch as needed. All of the heavy work has been completed, and light upkeep and maintenance is now needed. Historical Significance of the Zoar Garden A second function of the garden was its role as a pleasure garden. The people of the village could rest in the garden and enjoy its beauty and tranquility. The Separatists also took for their own needs, bulbs and cuttings cultivated by the gardener who lived in what is presently called the Garden House. Lastly, the garden provided an additional area for the growing of culinary and medicinal herbs, which were used for seasoning foods and curing ailments. The Zoar Garden Today Please call The Zoar Community Association at 330-874-3011, 330-874-2646, or e-mail us at zoarinfo@zca.org to sign up for your plot.
