WATERFORD — The Waterford Library is now assembling garden kits to go, based on the success of last year’s community gardening project.

Last year the gardens harvested 278 pounds of produce from the two beds behind the library. The Sweden Food Pantry, where the vegetables were distributed, said the produce went as fast as it came in. With that in mind, library Board of Trustees President Geraldine O’Donnell pursued the idea of assembling garden kits to go.

The Maine Community Foundation awarded nearly $2,000 toward the project, which helped pay for the actual wooden kits and bags of organic soil. Veggies and herb plants were donated.

The demand was so high for the to-go kits that names had to be placed into a drawing to select winners. Dan Drew, local contractor Jane Traill, Bob Spencer and O’Donnell delivered the kits to the winners.
