From the
Olde Towne East Neighborhood Association home page:
"The Olde Towne East Neighborhood Association Community Garden is in the final stages of renovations by F & W Properties. The garden plots have been reconfigured to allow for easier mowing and maintenance.
The garden will have 13 plots available for rent of varying sizes. Plots are free for OTENA members and $5 for non-members. All are first come, first served. You can join or renew your membership here.
If you reserve a plot at the garden, it is your responsibility to plant and maintain everything within the boundaries of your plot. Please take good care of it and be mindful of others. You are welcome to plant what you like whether vegetables or flowers, but we highly recommend native Ohio plant species.
The following sizes are available:
4 plots – 6ft x 12ft
2 plots – 6ft x 15ft
6 plots – 10ft x 12ft
2 plots – 10ft x 15ft"
Here is a brief overview of the Old East Neighborhood, with much more information, including a video tour, available on the association web site.
"Olde Towne East is a neighborhood located in the historical Near East Side of Columbus, Ohio. It is one of Columbus' oldest neighborhoods. Nestled between Downtown, Bexley, Old Oaks Historic District and Driving Park. The area has over 1,000 homes, some as old as the 1830s, and more than 50 architectural styles including Italianate, Queen Anne and Victorian.
These homes were built by many of the famous individuals of Columbus including industrialists, lawyers, judges, teachers, architects, mayors, governors, and legislators, many of whom shaped Columbus."
