We really want everyone to ENJOY their time being part of the garden and feel like the garden is their own backyard. Like always we will try to limit emails and rely more on our website and Facebook to relay more detailed info on plants, to do lists, and other fun tidbits. Start checking the garden website on a weekly basis to keep up with the latest! Also, "like" us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/
Sign ups & Expectations:
We will once again be limiting the garden to 40 participants. Cost will be $50 per household for the season.
We are holding our next sign-up day on Tuesday, May 3 from 5-7pm at the garden.
Our weekly work sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 5-7pm and Saturdays from 9-11am. Throughout the season all members will be required to participate in a beginning of the year event and an end of season event as well as 15 hours throughout the season. In order to allow everyone to keep better track of their participation, there will be a sign up sheet located on the side of the tool shed. Every week there will be a garden leader who will be responsible for helping direct the activities, weeding, planting and harvesting for the evening. Please let us know if you want to be a garden leader this summer, these are critical to keeping the garden going!
Keep in mind our garden is all natural and herbicide and pesticide free! (This means more manual weeding and sometimes creative ways to address bugs!) For those of you that are new, we plant the garden together, meet on Tuesdays/Saturdays to care for the garden and harvest once a week. Everyone present on Tuesdays/Saturdays is encouraged to take home a share of veggies. For people that can't make Tuesday evening work sessions you should plan on working and harvesting at a time that works for you, and remember to log your time on the sign up sheets.

If you cannot make it on Tuesday, we will be accepting members until we reach 40. We will also develop a wait list-if necessary-after the sign-up day. We will do an assessment of participation in mid-June, and if some spaces open up then we'll invite people from the wait list to join.
Plants & Plantings:
We already started all of our transplants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, kale, chard, herbs). We also encourage all members to start their own seeds and bring the starts to the garden to plant, especially if there's something different that you'd like to see in the garden, a certain variety that you'd like to try growing, or just want to start your own seeds but have no garden of your own to plant them in!
