In the area Sands Residents fondly call “The Farm”, beside the 4-hole Golf Course, is the Residents’ Veggie Garden, a facility shared by the two Palm Lake Resorts. Beachmere Sands and Beachmere Bay Residents may request a garden bed in which they can grow vegetables and fruit for their own use. Each bed has a number. A map on the fence by the garden gate tells you who the grower is for each plot.
This is not a Community Garden. The beds are labelled with the resident’s Villa number and each is an extension of that resident’s garden. All produce from their veggie garden bed belongs to the resident.
The Veggie Garden is also a place where gardeners socialise, share their ‘green thumbs’ knowledge, and often their produce, and spend the early morning and evening in companionable industry.
If you don’t have a vegetable plot, and would like one, enquire at the Beachmere Sands Office.
