The Freehold Borough Neighborhood Pride Committee is currently accepting applications for their community garden plots and summer World Changers home restoration projects.

The Community Garden has plots available for amateur gardeners seeking to create and cultivate flowers, herbs or vegetables in the garden located on Ford Avenue and Lloyd, according to the release.

Applications can be submitted to Freehold Borough Clerk’s office at Borough Hall, 51 West Main Street. The applications are available at http://www.bettertheboro.com and at Borough Hall. Deadline for submission is March 15th. The fee for a 10’ x 10’ plot is $20.

The WorldChangers program, which has helped fix up owner-occupied homes in the Borough for two years, back for their third year, return to Freehold in early July. Homeowners may submit applications for projects of all sizes, including painting, house repairs indoor and outdoor, and roofing; but will not include plumbing or electricity. There is no fee for applications, which are also available at http://www.bettertheboro.com and at Borough Hall.

“The Neighborhood Pride Committee has proven itself vital to the community of Freehold Borough, and the past successes of both the Community Garden and the WorldChangers will make their 2010 projects even more lively and inclusive,” Councilman Kevin Kane, the council liaison to the Neighborhood Pride Committee, said in a statement.
