It has been another amazing season in the Community Garden! I am always sad to see the season end. The closing date for the 2017-2018 season will be Saturday, October 21. Please have your plot cleaned out by October 22. You will find the information about the closing procedures below. IF YOU FAIL TO CLEAN OUT YOUR PLOT, YOU WILL BE ASKED NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LOTTERY NEXT YEAR.
This year, I am also looking for volunteers to help do a final clean-up in the garden on Saturday, October 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (weather permitting). We will be collecting any remaining produce to donate to the pantry, collecting remaining non-organic materials, and removing remaining plant material. Please RSVP to this e-mail if you are available to join me. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Happy Gardening! Have a great week!
