From the Registrar: March 29, 2024

 Hello Gardeners, 

 

Cancellations and refunds: If you find that you won’t be able to garden this season, or you no longer want to, you can receive a refund if you cancel your plot assignment by May 1st. Cancelled plots will be reassigned to new gardeners.    

 

Plot markers and corner posts: Please don’t move your numbered plot marker or the corner posts of your plot. The markers are not just for the gardeners of the plots. They also help new gardeners find their way around the gardens, and they help the garden juries correctly identify plots. The corner posts are essential for identifying borders.   

 

Plants and fences can extend to the border only in the front of the plot. On all other sides there must be six inches of space left as a path (so there are 12 inches between plots). Please check your borders at the beginning of the season. It is much easier to move things early in the year, before plants begin to grow. We will be checking plots throughout the season to make sure that the six inches are allowed for on the sides and back. 
  

Upcoming plant sales: Blue Moon Community Farm will return this year to hold plant sales. The sales will be at Eagle Heights Gardens next to the shed. There will be two sales:  

 

Cool weather plant sale: Sun 4/28 10 AM-1 pm  

Warm weather plant sale: Sun 5/19 10 AM-1 pm  

 

Kristen from Blue Moon would like two volunteers to help with each sale. Volunteers need to arrive at 9:30 and stay to close up after, so the total volunteer time will be from 9:30-1:30. Please let me know if you’d like to help with either plant sale. It will count as a workday, and I will give the limited spots out to gardeners in the order I receive replies. (The volunteer spots are now full). I’ll send a reminder before each sale, along with any details I learn about prices and which plants will be available. 

 

Seed Fair reminder: The annual Seed Fair will be held at the Community Center next Saturday April 6th from 9 AM to 11 AM. Each plot will be entitled to some free packets of seeds.  

 

Thanks, and happy gardening,   

Lily
