Sad about my community garden plot – Reddit Post

Over the weekend I spent most of my Saturday cleaning up my 10 by 10 community garden plot that has been mine for the past 2 years. My schedule has gotten busier this year so I was really excited to work with the perennials popping back up from the many gardeners before me as well as plants that started sprouting from whatever I had planted last year.

I walked by my garden this afternoon on my way home from work and it was entirely gutted. Think sterile like a hospital operating room. The plot was completely bare and my raspberry bush had been pruned down and transplanted to the back corner and a lot of my stuff was thrown out.

I was DEVASTATED. Turns out it was a clerical error and the folks that run the garden gave my plot to new gardeners. They revamped the entire plot labeling / assignments and mixed up my plot with someone else’s.

I think it’s going to be resolved (replacing lost plants and seeds I had just sewn this weekend) but I’m just so sad cause I can’t get any of those plants back that have been there for many years before I even started gardening there. Just sad right now and a bit intimated by started fresh again in a new spot.
