Slow Food Lake Tahoe is opening Truckee’s first Community Garden in mid-June at the Truckee River Regional Park next to Slow Food’s Food Bank Garden. The mission of the Truckee Community Garden is to enable residents to grow their own food to increase food security, self-reliance and community spirit through gardening.
There will be 2,420 square feet of garden area, equipped with 35 critter-proof covered garden beds, including 10 beds that are elevated and wheelchair accessible. These beds are available for rent for a nominal fee to full-time residents. The garden will also have installed hose bibs and irrigation for regularly scheduled watering, a community tool shed, a central sitting area with benches and a decomposed granite pathway with a wheelchair accessible area. | slowfoodlaketahoe.org
