🌱 Join us in transforming the open field in Beaver Brook Crest Park into a thriving community garden. 🌱 

This project began from an idea created by two Beaver Brook Crest residents on Ferris Court who share a simple goal — to turn unused park space into something beautiful, educational, and nourishing for our community.

By supporting this petition, you’re helping us create a space that will:

🌿 Grow fresh, healthy produce for families in our neighborhood.
🌻 Provide hands-on learning opportunities for kids and schools.
🤝 Foster stronger community bonds by bringing neighbors together.
🌎 Support sustainability, maintain park hygiene, and protect our local environment.
🥕 Offer free produce allotments for Beaver Brook Crest residents so everyone in our community can share in the harvest.

This is our chance to take action together and show local leaders that Beaver Brook Crest is ready to invest in its future. With your signature, we can create a healthier, greener, and more connected neighborhood for generations to come.

Together, we can make Beaver Brook Crest Park bloom. 🌱💚

Why It Matters
As Beaver Brook Crest Park is community-maintained, it is up to us to take ownership and pride over our recreational spaces. By fostering a clean, flourishing environment and pouring into our community, we can encourage more of our residents to get outdoors and enjoy our preserved piece of nature in a caring, connected way. The Beaver Brook Crest Community Garden will not only increase access to fresh produce but also create educational and social opportunities for residents of all ages. The project also aligns with New Castle County’s sustainability goals and supports Delaware’s commitment to community wellness and green infrastructure. 

How You Can Help
Your signature helps us demonstrate to local leaders that Beaver Brook Crest residents are ready for a healthier, more connected neighborhood. If you feel comfortable, please share your thoughts about this initiative or your experiences at Beaver Brook Crest Park. Your stories and comments will show local leaders how much this project means to the people who live here. Every name counts — please sign and share this petition with your friends and neighbors!

Our Next Steps
Once we’ve gathered strong community support, this petition will be included with our full proposal to New Castle County officials for approval. We’ll also share updates with signers as progress continues so you can stay part of the journey from concept to groundbreaking day!

Our Vision for Beaver Brook Crest Park
The community garden has been carefully designed to make the best use of our shared space. The plan includes raised produce beds, a meditation garden, an education and event area, composting stations, and a harvest pickup zone — all created to foster learning, sustainability, and togetherness.

(See our concept layout below for a look at how the garden is projected to take shape.)
