The Shrewsbury Community Garden is hereby established for the
support of recreational community gardens for residents to grow their
own produce through best gardening practices. Benefits include the
preservation of green space as residents work collaboratively and
share information in gardening techniques. In addition, the Shrewsbury
Community Garden will provide an educational forum for members to
expand horticultural knowledge by way of cross-cultural and intergenerational
connections as well as foster pride in a community-wide organization.
The Shrewsbury Community Garden shall organize within 30 days
after appointment and then, and annually thereafter in January of
each year, elect a Chairman, a Vice Chairman and a Secretary.
The Shrewsbury Garden Community is hereby authorized to establish
bylaws for its operation, which shall be approved by the Shrewsbury
Borough Council prior to implementation. Any amendment to the bylaws
shall also be approved by the Shrewsbury Borough Council.
