Langley Community Garden Dedication

Anderson Farm

They came, and they signed up! Over thirty Langley neighbors and friends came to celebrate the dedication and kickoff on May 10th of the new Langley Community Garden Project on the Anderson Farm. The community garden is located at the corner of Al Anderson Avenue and Fairgrounds Road and is a collaborative effort between the City, the Anderson Family and the community garden Gardeners Association.

There are just a few of the sixteen P-Patch plots left. Applications are available at Langley city hall from Monday - Friday 9 AM - 5 PM, or download your application and the garden rules below and drop-off your application and payment at city hall. The community garden project is part of the City of Langley Neighbor-to-Neighbor program.

Langley Community Potluck - April 18, 2009

Whale of a Good Time!

The streets of Langley were buzzing with locals and visitors ready to celebrate and welcome the whales. The minute we opened the large bay doors of the Old Fire Hall, the curious and the hungry started arriving! Soon the tables were full of lovely salads, crock-pots of soup and steaming coffee.

More than 50 Langley neighbors and visitors filled

their plates and gathered around tables.

  • Island Coffee House for providing coffee and tea, and crayons!
  • Donna Selig for her beautiful flower arrangements on each table!

The Langley community potluck was a whale of a good time!

2008 Neighbor-to-Neighbor Action Grants

Six neighborhoods and over 70 volunteers organized neighborhood improvement projects, with generous funding from the Langley Community Club.

Here's what they said about their experience:

 

The action grant got us off the sideline and we took on something we all recognized needed a team effort.

Organizing the neighbors created a lot of email flurry that gave us more of a sense of being a group.

Working together helped us build a stronger neighborhood community and we hope that you see other opportunities in other neighborhoods.

Wheel Estates Turn-Around

Neighbors worked together to improve the turn-around, repair a fence, and replace dead bamboo with new trees. After all their hard work, they celebrated!

Cedar Circle Berm

This team improved their berm by removing dead brush and planting new rhodies. They installed a soaker hose (very water efficient!) and brought in a truckload of beauty bark.

Woodside Lane Entrance

These neighbors worked hard to remove weeds, prepare the soil and plant a beautiful new Japanese Maple at the entrance to Woodside Lane.

Northview Natives

Northview neighbors trimmed trees, planted ground cover, cleared brush from the stop sign, and increased visibility at the entrance to Northview. The new landscaping includes drought-tolerant native plants that will minimize the need for watering and maintenance.

Langley Middle School Worm-Bin Benches

This team built three worm bins that double as benches. The garden is tended by students and neighborhood volunteers. The produce is donated to Good Cheer Food Bank.

"Alley Babbitt" Neighbors

This group of neighbors named their neighborhood in honor of an "anchor and protector" in their group, who is a source of support, tools and knowledge for the neighborhood. The group installed an "Alley Babbitt" sign for their neighborhood.
