Happy Earth Day to all of our supporters, gardeners, volunteers and to those who care about gardens (and our planet)!
Memberships are NOW Due!
…Already Completed Your Paperwork?…
To those who have completed all of the necessary documents and paid the membership fees, WE THANK YOU! Garden bed location and plot assignments will be sent out no later than Thursday, May 12, 2016. This will allow for our “later-bloomers” to sign up and be added to the plot assignment list. Please be patient as we want as many families as possible to be a part of the gardens and the beginning process of growing great garden goodies…mmmm, we can almost taste the tomatoes!
Additional Community Garden Details and Opening Dates
A “blueprint” of the garden will be sent to every gardener providing a layout of the land and the location of everyone’s specific garden plot(s). Each plot will be numbered and last name written on the assigned plot accordingly. A gardener’s guide will be included in the email for your review in order to learn more about the gardens prior to opening day.
Speaking of opening day…
Our first planting days are Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15, from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Yippee!
Each day, we will provide a brief tour at each garden location, learn how to open and close the gardens each visit, discuss the importance of your log entries each time you visit the garden and harvest vegetables, resolve any incomplete membership packets and answer any questions you may have about gardening. At that point, it will be TIME TO PLANT!
Plants and seeds will be provided to each gardener and support will be offered in order for you and your neighbors to have your best growing season yet!
Composting Workshop Rescheduled
Our next garden workshop, “Breaking Down: Composting Basics” scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, has been RESCHEDULED – Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at the 615 Chestnut Street Community Gardens from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM.
