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

Warm Fall Weekend

Hello 3437 Community Garden gardeners!

Thank you to everyone who joined this year in helping keep the community garden going! The garden was filled with flowers, fruit, veggies and good company, 2 and 4-legged!

This weekend is going to be a great weekend  to get back into the garden one last time before it turns white with  this nice warm fall weather weekend.

 Keep an eye on the blog for soon there will be posted a couple community weekday evening cleaning nights.

 In the meantime please clean out your plot for the winter.

 We ask that if the organic matter is larger than your hand in width, length and thickness to place it on the walkway in the garden instead of the compost bins. There is a lot of foot traffic through the garden which is a way the community helps us out by breaking down our organic matter and putting it back into the earth.  As you can see the large pile back by the compost is from the last 2 years and not breaking down so well on its own so we will see how our new plan works this year.

Also, please help out with moving the mulch pile. We will be placing the mulch in between each garden plot, where needed in the back and on the walkway and around the perennials and herbs upfront along with under the silver maple tree.

We will empty out the rain barrels and turn them upside down for the winter months. 

We will tidy up the shed, pick up trash and  place/stake our tomato changes alongside the shed in some organized form.

Hope to see everyone soon in the garden!

Lynn
