Two topics will be covered in the workshops held on Saturday, May 1.
1:00 Composting
2:00 Coffee break
2:30 Raised beds.
Both will be held at the garden site, 6G in the Rugged Mountain Trailer Court. Bring your own lawn chair and coffee cup.

Sign up numbers

As of today, we have 14 people signed up for garden beds. We haven't even advertised that much. On Mon. a flyer goes out to every mailbox asking people to sign up now if they want to be in the garden.

Two clean up days down ???? to go?

A crew worked Monday and Tuesday to rake and pick rocks at the garden site. We filled 6 pallets of debris for the village to haul away. Many trees were trimmed. It looks so much more open now. Thanks to: Karli, Catherine G., Bill D., Terry S., Graham R., Corrine Olson and me, Stephanie Olson.

Here are some pictures of the workers. Some working, some not.

Registration Day

Your first chance to officially register for a garden plot will be at the school's PAC Bazaar, Sunday, April 11 from 12:00 to 3:00. Just find the table for the Community Garden. Please take time to register because it will help so much with the planning needed. Congratulations Aggie, you were the first.

If you need a registration form, call 6236.

Clean Up Week

The village is sponsoring a clean up week from April 12 to 16. This is when the village crews will pick up anything on the curb and take it to the dump. This is too good an offer for the garden to pass up. There is some pick up to do on the sight. We will set work times for every afternoon of that week, Monday through Friday. (It may only take us a couple of days.) Come at 1:00 any day. Wear your work gloves and bring a rake and pruning shears. None of the work is very strenuous. The more help, the easier the work.
