Dear Friends,

We hope you've had a wonderful Hanukkah and Christmas celebration
with family and friends. And now we, at FKCOG, wish all of you
a happy, healthy, peaceful 2011 with many blessings and lots of love,
clean air and water, and of course fresh local fruit and veggies.

It's been an action-packed year for our garden project and we have
booked progress. We wouldn't have been able to keep building the
garden without your support so we thank you again.
Above are photos of the nine garden beds, the water source, the 
grow benches, the path fines, the accessible deck with the two
table beds for disabled plot holders and the ramp for wheelchair
accesibility to the garden. These are some of the constructions
we have done for the past months and they were possible to do
due to the generosity of people in the community such as you and
folks on 4th St. donating dollars into the jar at our Busking For Beds
events, and of course the local businesses too such as Bette's Diner
and Ashby Lumber.

Our work is not done yet. There's some loose ends to tie before we
can get the disabled plot holders to plant their veggies. We are
collecting the resources needed to put in the plumbing, the extra
leg support and inner lining for the table beds. Shira Leeder, our
ADA co-ordinator, is also doing some direct fund raising on the
streets of Berkeley as well as through Facebook. On top of that, we
need to generate some financial support for us to be able to
get our 501c3 Non-Profit status. Please help us with your donations
by clicking on the donate button below. It takes you to PayPal, it's all
safe and you get a receipt that you can print out.




Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we hope
that you will continue to support FKCOG and the Kenney Cottage
Community Garden that it oversees. Happy New Year 2011!

Sincerely,
 
FKCOG Team

Gardening may be very specialized, with only one type of plant grown, or involve a large number of different plants in mixed plantings. Thanks for sharing.

    We are creating an accessible community garden on a city-owned lot in Berkeley, California. This garden is intended to serve individuals and families from the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods, many of whom are lower income. The current master plan is also being designed to accommodate raised planters for people with disabilities to garden.

    The benefits of this project include strengthening the surrounding community, ensuring food security for those most vulnerable to the vagaries of the current economic downturn, providing nutrition education to neighborhood children so they and their families can learn about growing their own healthy food, and an opportunity for cross-generational and cross-cultural interaction between seniors, kids and others. If you and your household live in Berkeley and are interested in growing your own food, click on the link below:

    The Kenney Cottage Garden is so named because our hope is to relocate the historic Kenney Cottage to the western half of the vacant lot to be used as a community center for the arts, while creating the accessible community garden on the eastern half of the property. Two local non-profit organizations - the Northern California Land Trust (NCLT) and Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) - have partnered together with us to make this project possible. More information about the cottage is available here.
