Hello Gardeners,
Hoses and tools in paths: With mowing of the paths beginning, please remember to keep all your belongings in your plot. Hoses left in the path may be mowed. At Eagle Heights your hose needs to be in your plot and disconnected from the spigot, and at University Houses it needs to be returned to the reel. Plants that are growing outside the border of your plot may also get mowed.
Water not potable: Although the original water source for the Gardens is city water, we cannot guarantee that it will remain potable once it enters our water systems. For this reason, the water in the Gardens is safe for watering plants but is not suitable for drinking.
Garden juries: Juries consist of small groups of gardeners who are assigned to walk through sections of the gardens and report to the registrar about plots that appear weedy or abandoned (or especially nice). There are three gardeners on each jury. This year we will be increasing the number of juries in the Gardens. There will be two juries each month (June, July, and August). The first set of juries will need to submit a report by the first week of the month, and the second set of juries will need to submit a report by the third week of the month. The weed juries will be asked to report on specific noxious weeds, like thistles and artemisia, and to remove communal tools and carts from plots.
If you’re interested in being on a garden jury, please let me know. Spots will be assigned in the order that people reply. Each jury will meet three times total: in June, July, and August. Juries will work together to coordinate a meeting each month and turn in their reports. To be consistent with contacting gardeners about problem plots, all juries will need to submit a report by their deadline. Being on a garden jury for the season counts as a workday.
Warm weather plant sale next Sunday 5/21: The warm weather plant sale will be held by Blue Moon Community Farm next Sunday 5/21 from 10 am to 1 pm at Eagle Heights Gardens.
Please remember to return all communal tools to the sheds when you are done using them for the day. If they are left in your plot no one else can use them. If they are left in the mulch piles, they will end up buried, and the wooden handles will rot.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
