This is an opportunity for our community gardeners to put their mark on Fox Ridge. Share your love of gardening. We need gardeners and novices willing to get their hands dirty to help beautify our entrances.

There are two gardens at each entrance. We need help and input on plant selection and design ideas to make the gardens attractive, deer resistant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance. A tall order, but not impossible!

We plan to apply for a Good Neighbor grant from the county to help offset 

the expense.

Matching grant awards, up to $500, are available each year to neighborhood associations or community groups. The purpose of the grant is to enhance the sustainability and sense of community of neighborhoods through the implementation of environmentally sustainable projects.  Previous winners include projects such as water conservation efforts, native and pollinator garden planting, and installation of erosion control measures. 

Applications are currently open for Fiscal Year 2026. Completed applications must be submitted prior to 4 p.m. on Monday, September 15, 2026 to be considered for funding. Grant award amounts are contingent upon the number of applications received and available funding.
