Garden Updates!

Garden Updates, Work Parties, and New Contact Information

Hello! Exciting things are afoot at the garden! Planting season is upon us and the beds are ready and waiting for your seeds and starts.

Membership and Bed Assignments

Great news! Due to overwhelming interest we've already run out of garden beds! Not to worry, though, we'll be adding more soon. For folks that want to garden and just can't wait for a bed to get built for them we have a large open gardening area for overflow.

We'll be assigning beds to garden members as soon as we receive your $15 annual membership fee. The fee allows the garden to pay for upgrades and ongoing maintenance (hoses, extra soil, etc). $5 of the fee is refundable if you take the time to clean up the bed at the end of the year. ;)

We'd like to ask those of you who are already on the list for beds to make arrangements to pay the fee before you start planting.

Work Parties

So much to do! We've scheduled work parties at the garden for the next 3 Saturdays. That's the 16th, 23rd, and 30th of March. We'll be starting at 9:30am and we'll plan on finishing by lunchtime. Bring your work gloves and shoves and pitch in!

We've got lots of projects and upgrades we're working on: fence relocation, installing a water system, and the building of more beds (yay!) just to name a few. :)

Crop Donations

We're strongly encouraging gardeners to donate at least 10% of their crops this year to the Marion Polk Food Share as a way of giving back to the community and to thank them for all the hard work they've put into making this garden possible.
