Calumet’s Community Gardens Need Gardeners

Calumet’s Community Gardens is looking for gardeners for the 2022 growing season. Last year, Main Street Calumet and the village partnered together to establish a community gardens. With the help of Youth Work, local volunteers and the Upper Michigan Water Company, 16 4×8 garden beds were established in the 400 block of 5^th Street.

The purpose of the gardens is to provide a space for resident to come together and plant food, host nutrition and learning events, and socialize in Calumet. The Calumet Community Gardens are now accepting application for garden beds. A 4×8 bed will cost 20 dollars for the season, and members of the community gardens are asked to commit 4 hours of service to the gardens annually. Each garden bed includes access to water and the shared shed.

Applications for the gardens can be found on Main Street Calumet website. All inquires should be directed to Leah Polzin at leah@mainstreetcalumet.com or by calling the Main Street Calumet office at 906 337 6246.
