Dear Gardeners,

We are planning to open the Community Garden on Saturday, May 19, weather permitting.   The cover crop of peas, oats, and clover is coming in nicely.  Our farmers will be tilling in the cover crop later next week to prepare the soil for us.  We had a great group of volunteers staking the garden today.  Can't wait to see you all next week!

Have a great weekend and a happy Mother's Day!
