Spring Clean-Up Reminder!

Spring Clean-Up Reminder!

Spring clean-up this evening :) 

For those of you who prefer to support the community garden outside of communal work days it would be fantastic if you were able to swing by with a small bag sometime this next week and tidy up a little trash and move some leaves into the walkways (remember to wear gloves!). 

COVID-19 Accommodations:

• Only come if you feel comfortable

• If you’re not feeling well, please stay home

• Wear a mask (text Rowen if you need one - I’ll happily make on for you!)

• Give each other 6 feet of space

• Bring your own tools and gloves (if this is a financial burden, connect with Lynn or Rowen 1:1 and we can arrange for loaner tools and gloves)

• Limit of 10 people in person. 

Date:

Thursday, April 30th 5 - 6:30 pm



We will be:

*Cleaning up the leaves from the perennial gardens, and plots. Placing them in between the garden and walkway.
*Cleaning out our plots.
*Tending to the compost bins
*Picking up litter trash
*Cleaning out rain-barrels

Updated plot map

We sadly said goodbye to some gardeners this year.  We wish them well on their new gardening journey.  We welcome new gardens this year Jenny, Peter and Tifah! We have plots still open! Spread the word that the garden is open this year! If we have plots still open by May 1st a second plot rental will be available!

A big shout out and thank you to Adabell, plot 5! She was part of the 3437 community garden for 6 years! She managed the garden and put in a lot of TLC with us! We will miss you, your blooming zinnias and juicy tomato plants!

Spring Clean-Up

Next week is shaping up to be a beautiful week to be outside! For those that are interested we’ll be having our first community workday. For those of you who prefer to support the community garden outside of communal workdays it would be fantastic if you were able to swing by with a small bag sometime this next week and tidy up a little trash and move some leaves into the walkways (remember to wear gloves!). 

COVID-19 Accommodations:

• Only come if you feel comfortable

• If you’re not feeling well, please stay home

• Wear a mask (text Rowen if you need one - I’ll happily make on for you!)

• Give each other 6 feet of space

• Bring your own tools and gloves (if this is a financial burden, connect with Lynn or Rowen 1:1 and we can arrange for loaner tools and gloves)

• Limit of 10 people in person. 

Date:

Thursday, April 30th 5 - 6:30 pm

*Cleaning up the leaves from the perennial gardens, and plots. Placing them in between the garden and walkway.
*Cleaning out our plots.
*Tending to the compost bins

COVID-19 AND OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN

The current Minnesota Stay at Home Executive Order allows for community gardening, as long as safety guidelines are followed. We are required to follow these guidelines while leasing City-owned lots for gardening this year.

Things may change as we know more, but for now let’s all plan for...

• If you’re not feeling well, please stay home.
• Give each other 6 feet of space.
• Wear a mask when in the garden if others are present (text Rowen if you need one - I’ll happily make on for you!)
• We are going to be doing a lot of connecting digitally this year, but for those of you who feel comfortable joining in-person meetings and group workdays we will be keeping them to 10 or less people with social distancing (6 feet of space).
• If possible, let’s stagger times in which we’re gardening to limit contact. If the garden feels too busy to give 6 feet of space, try stopping by at a different time 
• As we aren’t equipped to disinfect the community shed with bleach or warm soapy water, please bring your own tools, gloves, and watering can and take them back home with you.  The shed will remain locked this year.
• Those that are financially unable to bring their own tools and gloves connect with us 1:1 and we can arrange for loaner tools for the year.
• Lynn and Rowen will keep the rain barrels full this year. Please give us a heads up if we miss that they need to be filled.
• Most importantly, if you’re not feeling safe let us know so we can communicate more to those in the garden community and support everyone.

We’re not going to get wood chips or compost this year because the city isn’t going to be delivering any due to COVID-19. If you’d like you may get it on your own or reach out to us and we can see what we can do to support your need.

And finally, let’s all enjoy mindful gardening and spending time outdoors! I’m thankful we get the chance to stay socially connected with our gardening neighbors even though we are physically apart.

Virtual Garden Tour!

Hi all!

To be creative with connecting during COVID-19 we've made a virtual tour of the garden which you can view instead of coming to a face-to-face meeting (you are of course still welcome to join Lynn for the in-person garden tours offered tomorrow evening and Saturday if you'd like). 

AS A REMINDER... STEPS TO TAKE TO JOIN THE 3437 COMMUNITY GARDEN:

GARDEN MEETINGS ARE ON APRIL 20TH AT 6 PM AND APRIL 25TH AT 9 AM. LOCATED: IN THE 3437 COMMUNITY GARDEN.

1.) Last year gardeners email us saying you want your plot again this year by, April 20th at 1 pm or show up at our first garden meeting on Monday, April 20th at 6 pm. 

If we do not hear from by email or see you at our April 20th meeting your plot will be rented out to another gardener. 

2.) New gardeners join us at one of our meetings or email us starting April 25th for a plot.

3.) What plots are available? Plot maps will be posted on this blog and updated daily
