Good Morning,
We will put the gardens to bed on Sunday, November 7th at 10 am. With a good turn out, we will be done with everything by noon.
Thanks to William and Sue and others who pulled the hoses from each terrace. Thanks to Bill, Sophia & the Gosselins for cleaning & rolling them up and then putting them in storage. Also a big thank you for the wood chips and those who have applied a thick layer to the aisles. It looks great and will be ready for action in the spring.
Before the ground freezes, it’s important for you to clean out your plot thoroughly. It’s your responsibility to our fellow gardeners and also it’s required to maintain the land lease.
Happy Fall! It’s that time of year for tidying up the gardens. It’s been an amazing season – can you believe no hard frost yet?!
Please clean up your plot during the next few weeks. We’re looking for a work morning in early November 7th or 8th or the following weekend.
At the suggestion of several avid gardeners, we held a garden gathering to celebrate summer on a lovely Sunday, July 11th at 6 pm.
A number of families gathered for cocktails at the garden. New and old families were welcomed, and the garden budget was reviewed.
The Co-op is offering the following class:
In this class, we’ll discuss the principles and practices of starting your own seeds at home. Norman will include information on seeding dates, as well as tips specific to different plants species.
