Ready, Set, Hoes

It's time to get out the hoes, rakes and garden gloves and tidy up our garden plots in advance of receiving more top soil. Join us for the first garden work bee of the season:

Garden Clean-Up Work Bee -- Sat., April 16, time TBA Let's all pitch in to get the work done!

Spring Plotting!

Last night, your garden committee sat down with a pot of seabuckthorn tea, a stack of applications and a map of the garden -- and we plotted! Everyone who applied has been assigned a plot in the garden. You will be informed of your plot number in the next day or two. There are a couple spots left, so late applications may be entertained. The Garden Orientation Meeting is Thurs., April 14, 7:30 pm, in the library of City Park Collegiate. See you there!

Sign up Now!

Applications are now being accepted for a plot in the City Park Community Garden this summer. Application deadline is April 1, 2011.

Please note that this community garden is open to residents of City Park only.

Also note that past gardeners must also apply if they wish to remain in the garden. In other words, your spot is not automatic!

If you wish to receive the application package by email, please send a note to: cityparkcommunitygarden@gmail.com

Garden Poetry

Outside in the radish bed
I saw a little radish head
The radish head was radish red
O what a radish bed.
