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.
