Upcoming Community Garden Events

Workday for Plot Holders and Community Members
Sunday, July 10th at 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Purpose: To weed and clean up the garden.

Community Garden plot holders and any community members interested in helping are invited to participate in a common workday. Weeds have encroached on many areas of the garden, including the compost bin, the pathways, and the garden beds themselves. Before the weeds get totally out of hand and begin going to seed, creating even more problems for us next year, this is a chance to clean up the garden.

The workday also provides a time to swap produce between plot holders or to plan to swap produce later in the season. Drinks and snacks will be provided. Please bring your own tools if you have them, but some tools will be available.


Community Workshop
Thursday, July 14th at 4:30 PM
Purpose: To learn and share techniques to keep your garden weed free.

Community members are invited to learn strategies to eliminate weeds without chemicals and to enjoy a more weed-free garden this year and in years to come. Topics covered will include: common varieties of weeds and their life cycles, different types of mulch, cover crops, weeding tools, and organic herbicides.

There's no registration or participation fee - just show up in your work clothes and sturdy shoes and be ready to share and to learn! There will be a range of tasks for all abilities, including creative garden activities for children, so bring the whole family!

The Community Garden is located in Miller Park near Lake Nyanza, just beyond the High Street entrance near Washington Ave. Contact Jordan Scheibel at jordan.scheibel@gmail.com or call 236-5518 for more information about either one of these events.
