Weather 2014-2016

Posted on April 30, 2016December 4, 2016 by mmholthoff

Here is the graph showing the past 2 years of weather at the garden. There was a lot less snow than usual – only 20″ this past winter, the lowest in 15 years.

It’s that time again. We will gather at the garden on Saturday, April 30 at 9 am, install the deer fencing and hoses, clean up the grounds a bit (in keeping with Green Up Day) and enjoy snacks. Rain date is Sunday, May 1 at 9 am.

Please bring your work gloves and your ideas for the new season. If you haven’t had a chance to pay your garden fee, please bring your check made out to Kathy Tefft (Hanover Community Gardens). The full plot fee is $40 and the half is $20.

Thanks to William for refinishing the benches. They are in great shape for another season.

Thanks to all who helped take down the garden fences and get the gardens ready for winter. It was a cold morning, but we had lots of help.
