Jump in! The Garden's Fine!

The weeding is all done in the Flower Garden (thank you, Mrs. Hudspeth!) and the gardeners are getting ready to select plants. There is much conversation about roses; if you'd like to join the conversation talk to Jennifer.


A trellis has been put up for string beans. Your gardeners have been asked to "grow more beans" and it shall be done!



Tomato cages are ready to receive tomato plants--I think we'll shoot for May 1 for planting. If you would like a special variety let us know and we'll plant it i we can find it. Please note the straw; it is an essential input for gardens. Thank you Brook and Linda West for the straw!

Lemon balm is up and spreading like, well, like a weed. Feel free to take a shovel full home; it smells wonderful and it grows great in small pots on kitchen window sills too.

The 3 x 5 foot grow box is ready for adoption. No stooping required, no bending either. If you'd like to plant a small garden in the grow box--say a tomato plant, pepper plant, lettuce, onions, etc.--go for it! We'll even plant and water it for you.

We're expanding our "investment" in container gardening because we want to encourage people to start patio and very small yard gardens. If you'd like to adopt a container you can do so by purchasing some garden soil and whatever plant you'd like to grow in the container. Your community gardeners will take care of it for you!

Remember, anyone can participate in the Community Garden. families and individuals can take over a row and grow exclusively for their own families or, join the community group and share it all. Jump in! The Garden's fine!
