Welcome to Going Green in Saratoga: Living sustainably one day at a time!  My purpose with this blog is to share my efforts to live a more sustainable daily life - converting my yard to garden, biking more, buying local - while at the same time create a community forum to share ideas and resources on what others are doing to "relocalize" and lessen our impact on this earth. Please share your ideas and stories of inspiration on how you or someone you know is "going green".

New Community Garden - Plots Available to Public

Sustainable Saratoga and the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority have joined together to launch a new community garden project at the Stonequist Apartments, located on the south end of town on 1 South Federal St (off of W. Circular St.)

Over the past week, 18 NEW garden plots were created, thanks to student volunteers from Saratoga Springs High School and volunteers from Sustainable Saratoga and the Housing Authority. Priority for planting was given to residents of the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority, which includes Stonequist Apartment, Jefferson Terrace, and Allen Drive.

However, Garden Plots are STILL available to any resident of Saratoga Springs. It's not too late to get in the last of the starters or plan for a late summer/early fall harvest. Anyone interested in a garden plot please contact Casey Holzworth, Sustainable Saratoga Open Space & Farming Subcommittee Chair by email at: sscommunitygardens@gmail.com.

Thanks and happy planting!
