Workday opportunities:
There will be two workdays this Saturday to sort the weed piles at both gardens for proper disposal. Volunteers will be working with Garden Committee members to sort the piles. Volunteers should be prepared to encounter rodents in the weed pile while sorting. Please bring good work gloves and long-coverage clothing.
We would like six volunteers for each site, and the groups will meet at the garden sheds at 9 am. Email me if you’re interested, and I will assign spots in the order of replies. These are the workdays:
Weed pile workday at Eagle Heights, 4/20, 9am-12pm (six volunteers needed)
Weed pile workday at University Houses, 4/20, 9am-12pm (six volunteers needed)
If you are taking things to the weed piles from your plot, please remember that only plant matter can be added to the pile. NO DIRT, STICKS, OR TRASH can be put in the piles.
Recycling dumpster use at EH: A recycling dumpster was placed at Eagle Heights this season and we’ve been told that it will be removed if it is not used correctly. Please put all trash in the trash dumpster only.
Theft: I’m sorry to say that we’ve already had some reports of theft in the gardens. Please never enter plots that aren’t yours, and never remove materials or produce from another plot. Knowing your neighbors can be helpful for being aware of who has cause to be in a plot. If you notice anything unusual, please do let me know. Also make sure you are gardening in the correct plot. Let me know if you need any clarification about your plot assignment or borders.
A few other reminders:
The last chance to cancel your plot and still receive a refund will be May 1st.
There are a lot of helpful gardening resources on this page: https://eagleheightsgardens.org/gardens/organic-growing/
The water is usually turned on in the gardens in late April or Early May. Depending on the weather, we will be requesting that the plumbers do this next week.
The upcoming plant sales will be on these dates. I have not received plant or price lists yet, but I will share them when I do:
Cool weather plant sale: Sun 4/28 10 AM-1 pm
Warm weather plant sale: Sun 5/19 10 AM-1 pm
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
