2016 Garden Opener Meeting

Hello 3437 Gardeners!

We are excited to announce that our first garden meeting is Tuesday, April 5th at 6 pm and Tuesday, April 12th at 6 pm.  Please be sure to attend one of these two meetings if you are still interested in gardening! The plots are on a first come first serve basis.  We've had a large amount of new gardeners asking for plots so please let us know as soon as possible if you are no longer interested in gardening this year.

We will be cleaning the garden, organizing the shed, and renting out plots so wear your gardening clothes, gloves, and sun hats! Bring cash or check book to rent a plot.

We will be meeting no matter what weather mother nature shares with us unless if its extreme.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on April 5th or 12th!

Warmly,
Lynn

Hello 2016 Gardeners!

Hello 3437 Community Garden Gardeners,

We can smell spring in the air and the Daffodils are peeking out at the U of M Arboretum! Mother Nature may be letting us feel a little of spring next week again with 60 degrees which only makes me want to get my hands in the soil and do a little early gardening!

My name is Lynn Beuning and I will be taking over Adabell’s position of Organizer and Communications Assistant for the 3437 Garden.  I am very excited about having this opportunity to be more involved with the garden. Working with the land was a part of my childhood. I was raised on a beautiful dairy farm, and had a handful of horticulture experiences after moving from the farm. Working at the U of M Landscape Arboretum for two seasons was an incredible experience.  In 2012 I moved to South Minneapolis to further my Early Childhood Montessori Teaching career but gardening never left my heart.  I’ve had a plot with the 3437 Garden for 3 years and I’m excited to be a bigger presence in the garden this season!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and gardening together soon!  Please get back to me if you are interested in renting a plot to garden this summer of 2016! If you would like a plot again please let me know if you would like the same plot or a different one from last year.

Soiled covered hands,
Lynn

Hola jardineros del 3437 Jardín Comunidad,

¡Podemos oler primavera y los narcisos están saliendo en el Arboreto de la Universidad de Minnesota! ¡Madre Naturaleza está diciéndonos que parece a primavera la semana que viene con 60 grados, que solamente me da ganas de ensuciar mis manos en la tierra temprano!

Me llamo Lynn Beuning y voy a ser encargado del jardín en vez de Adabell. Soy excitado tener la oportunidad de ser más involucrado con el jardín. Trabajando con la tierra siempre era parte de mi vida desde mi infancia. Crese en una vaquería hermosa, y tuve unas experiencias horticulturas después de mudar de la vaquería. Trabajando en el Arboreto de la Universidad de Minnesota para dos años fue una experiencia increíble.   En 2012 mude a South Minneapolis para seguir mi profesión de enseñador de infancia en un colegio de Montessori, pero cuidando a un jardín nunca salió de mi vida. ¡Tuve una parcela en el 3437 Jardín para 3 años ya, y soy excitada de ser una presencia más grande en el jardín este ano!

¡Estoy deseando conocer a todos y cultivar juntos! Por favor contáctame si son interesadas en tener una parcela este verano. Si ya tienen una parcela y quieren seguir en el jardín notificarme si quieres la misma parcela o una diferente.

Manos en la tierra,
Lynn
