From the Registrar: September 14, 2022

Hello Gardeners, 

 

Workday requirement update: Unfortunately, we have not been able to schedule as many workdays as we would like this season. Because we don't believe we can provide enough opportunities for everyone that wants to do a workday, we have decided that the workday requirements for this year and next year must be combined. This means that each plot will be responsible for one workday for both 2022 and 2023. So, if you have already done a workday this season, you will not be required to do one next year. If you don't do one this year, you will need to do one next year. 

 

However, we do still have some opportunities to do workdays this year! If you choose to do one of them, your requirement for 2023 will be out of the way. 


  • Independent workdays: If you are interested in an independent workday or organizing a small group to clean an abandoned plot, please contact me for opportunities. There are a lot of tall weeds going to seed in the gardens. 

  • Arbor Garden workday update: The Arbor Garden workday has been rescheduled for Saturday 9/24 from 10 AM to 1 pm. There are now two openings for this workday. Please email me if you’re interested and I will assign spots in the order people reply.  

  • Group workday this weekend: There will be a workday at Eagle Heights garden on Sunday 9/18 from 10 AM-1 pm. The workday will be for weeding, and volunteers should bring gloves. We will need ten volunteers. Please email me if you’re interested and I will assign spots in the order people reply. 

 

Please use leaf mulch! We have been asked to use up our leaf mulch piles as quickly as possible. We must limit the length of time they are there due to DNR regulations. We are due to receive new leaves this fall as well. So please, use leaf mulch on your plots. It will be great for your soil too! 

 
Thanks, and happy gardening,  

Lily
