2018 Spring Welcome
Thanks for your interest in the 3437 garden!
Hello, I am Lynn Beuning, Organizer and Communication Garden Manager and gardener for the 3437 Garden. I am very excited to be going on my third year with managing 3437 Community garden. Working with the land was a part of my childhood. I was raised on a beautiful farm in Central Minnesota, 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 Teaching career but gardening never left my heart. I’ve had a plot with the 3437 Garden for 6 years and I’m excited to be present in the garden again this coming season!
This year is the 9th Birthday for 3437 Community Garden!
There are 24 plots that are 12' x 4' and will cost $20. This includes water, compost, access to tools and amazing opportunities to connect with your growing neighbors.
We also have a "communal" gardening area with herbs, perennials and annuals. We also organize donations of our produce abundance to neighborhood organizations.
We would like to reach out to all of our neighbors, so if you are bilingual and would be willing to share your skills to translate materials and be a garden resource, please speak up! Please, spread the word about the Community garden!
Easy gardening ideas: Spinach, lettuce, chard, kale, peas (need a trellis) beans, radish, beet, broccoli, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, eggplant, parsnip......
Our garden is organic- so no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, etc.
We ask that as a community we work together to keep the garden clean and sustainable with:
* picking up trash
*no illegal plants
*keep plants contained in your plot
*pick from your own plot
*no drinking alcohol in garden
*no planting squash, watermelon,cucumbers or pumpkins THE VINES GET OUT OF CONTROL *water by hand from the rain barrels
*keep lids on barrels to prevent wildlife from entering
*fill barrels when below 1/3 full
*compost nothing larger than 4"
*do not compost weeds that have seeded, diseased plants, no tomatoes
Our 2 upcoming 2018 spring meetings are: March 25th, Sunday at 2 pm and March 30th, Friday at 6pm. We meet in the garden and will be doing some spring clean-up.
Last years gardeners have first grabs on their plot from last year. If we don't see you at one of the two meetings or do not hear from you by email your plot will be rented out to a new gardener. Newbies and garden pros are welcome!
At the meeting, we will:
*Welcome everyone
*Explain garden rules and history
*Go over and set a basic work plan and schedule for the gardening season
*Sign garden agreements
*Assign plots
*Go over prohibited plants: Squash, Watermelon, Pumpkin, Cucumber THE VINES GET OUT OF CONTROL
*Pay plot fee
*Answer questions
You will be asked to RSVP by email for one of the meetings so we balance out attendance. If I don't hear from you before the first meeting, by email (3437garden@gmail.com) and if you have not RSVP for one of the meetings your plot will be open to a new gardener renting it out for 2018 summer.
Plots filled up fast last year so be sure to sign up for a meeting and get your name on a plot!
All garden organization is up for discussion! email Lynn if you have ideas! 3437garden@gmail.com
