Community Night
Our Community night will be Monday's 5 to 6 pm starting tonight! There may be days that I don't get there right at 4 because work has be held up but I am on my way!
Part of a community garden is to take part in the garden as a whole community. If anyone has an idea of how we can get more 3437 community gardeners to join us at our community nights please come to one and lets build a working community garden community!
What do we do on a community night? weed, share a joke or two, pick up trash, chat about gardening and life, pick berries and eat them, laugh with each other, water, fill up rain barrels, plant or transplant perennials, fix the rope fencing, clean up the shed....... high five and hug each other for all our hard work we did as a community!
Hope everyone has been enjoying this summer! Does anyone else miss the 100 degree heat already?! The garden plots look great! Urban farming delicious food!
Feel free to text me if you are there and would like me to join you or have any question.

Community garden work night
Hello 3437 gardeners!
What a warm June we are having, hope everyone is enjoying it! The garden plots are looking great! We have been working on the perennials beds in the front but more in the back as of now. A lot of the native plants have returned this year! We have began extending the care for the boulevard on 15th avenue to end of the apartment building for free water.
If you know of anyone who is thinning out shady or sunny perennials we would love to diversity the plants in our perennial beds. MN Native perennial plants would be grrrreat!
Community garden work night will begin June 24th 5-7 pm! We will see how many folk show up and see if this will work or what could be done to become more of a community based "community garden". Please, share ideas!
If you are an early bird come join me at 6 am in the garden! Text me at 612.5545.6656 with a heads up the night before. Mayday coffee on me at 7 am!
To keep the garden low on weeds and trash please pick a couple weeds (grab grass) and pieces of trash when you in checking on your plot. THANK YOU! A little help goes a long way.
Notes:
Refill rain barrels with the hose water if they are low when you use them.
Keep weeds down in your plot. Do not put in compost if they have seeds.Place them on the walk way path for human foot traffic to break them.
Reminder of codes: Wheelbarrow 3411 Shed: FLED
Compost plans fell through. Sorry we will not be getting compost till next spring. If you would like some reach out and we will pick some up for plot.

Mulch pile
Last years mulch pile has got to go! It's in the back by the strawberries.
If you are in the garden please take one wheelbarrow and dump it in the sunny perennial beds up front, south west side of garden. Spread it around about 3" thick. This will help as a weed barrier and mulch for keeping moister in on these upcoming hot summer days! Thursday we got up to 80 degrees! Last September was the last time it was that warm!
Thank you!
Love,
The Sunny Perennials

shady perennials
The garden is looking for perennials that like the shade!
We would like to doctor up the back to a beautiful self sustaining garden with no buck-thorn or thistles. Last year we were donated, hostas, lily's, wandering jew, many more from MN Green. We purchased 30 native plants from Mother Earth Garden Center!
We are members of MN Green again this year so fingers crossed more plants come our way!
We would really like to add ferns!

rocks on rain barrels
Do not cover the rain barrels holes with the rocks! this then covers the holes which prevents rain water from going in. We place the rocks next to the holes which prevents strong winds from blowing off the tops. Someone may place a metal netting over the holes to prevent squirrels or what not falling in and drowning. I can help with this next week sometime for I think we have a form of metal netting that may work in the shed.
watering cans
We got 2 more plastic watering cans with a gentle rain spout for a more gentle watering approach for seeds and seedlings. They were placed in the rain barrel bins with the other 2 plastic watering cans. Please leave all four in the rain barrels, they are plastic so they will not rust. This makes it easier for one to water when there is no need to enter the shed.
Community work night?
Send me any email, post on this blog or text me (612.554.6656) by Sunday, May 26th of when you all would like our weekly community work night!
We usually meet one night a week starting around 5 pm for about an hour or so. In the past gardeners preferred not a Friday evening.

2019 Gardening
Thanks for your interest in the 3437 garden!
Hello, I am Lynn, Organizer and Communication Garden Manager and gardener for the 3437 Garden. I am very excited to be going on my fourth 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 10th 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, 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
Last years gardeners have first grabs on their plot from last year. If we don't see you at the first meeting or do not hear from you by email by March 26th your plot will be rented out to a new gardener. Newbies and garden pros are all 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 spring cleaning if we can depending on mother nature
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

All money is put back into the garden for perennials, tools, up keep, compost.....! But no one is required to pay. We ask for cash or checks. Looking forward to seeing new and continuing gardeners on one of the days below:
Wednesday, March 27th 5 to 6 pm
Saturday, March 30th 9-10 am
If you are a continuing gardener you need to contact us by March 26th or show up at the first meeting if you would like your same plot back. If we don't hear from you your plot will be rented to another gardener at the first meeting on Wednesday, March 27th. I will reach out to last years gardeners by email this year but the blog will be the only form of communication for continuing gardeners. If you are not logged in to the blog please do so soon!

Returning and new gardeners for 2019 Spring
2019 Gardening
Thanks for your interest in the 3437 garden!
Hello, I am Lynn, Organizer and Communication Garden Manager and gardener for the 3437 Garden. I am very excited to be going on my fourth 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 10th 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, 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
Last years gardeners have first grabs on their plot from last year. If we don't see you at the first meeting or do not hear from you by email by March 26th your plot will be rented out to a new gardener. Newbies and garden pros are all 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 spring cleaning if we can depending on mother nature
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
