Hello, 3437 Comunity Gardeners,
We hope everyone is getting ready for spring! It has to come one of these days... We are so thankful for everyone's support through the last couple of years with the 3437 Comunity Garden!
Last year's support with managing the garden has shown us that the garden is a COMMUNITY, and we would like to have up to two/or three people supporting the management of 3437 Community Graden for the 2022 summer again. This brings more of a community feel for us all. Last couple of years we have had a fantastic team! A big thank you to Sam, Janet, Rowen, and Sarah!
If you are interested in taking on a 3437 Community Graden co-management role, please send me a text -Lynn 612-554-6656 or email: 3437garden@gmail.com. I am working remotely for the community garden this summer but I am still available.
Check out Rowan's (current gardener) 2021 garden video. She explains the information we shared with gardeners in 2021!
Co-managing roles:
(all this is also done as a community during our once week meet-ups, spring and fall clean-ups in the garden)
1.) meet once a week in the garden for TLC of the garden.
2.) picking weeds and trash, keeping rain barrels full, cleaning up the shed
3.) Keep an eye on the organic matter placed in the compost. Turn as needed. Pick up coffee grounds from MayDay to feed the worms.
4.) spread the pile of sticks, leaves, and more extensive organic matter not placed in the compost onto the walking path to be broken down naturally.
5.)plant perennials as they get donated
6.) water as needed
7.) between the three of us, we will take turns attending the weekly work evening/mornings. This is flexible and open to change as needed.
8.) post on the blog. Written, a video shared links, etc.
9.) support new gardeners' questions. -using email, blog, phone
10.) help rent out plots, update the map on the blog, and gather the rent money.
We would love to have new ideas for the garden as well! How can we keep it sustainable, community-based, and funded to keep it a beautiful part of our Powderhorn Park neighborhood?
