Hello Gardeners,
Plots available: Due to some late cancellations, we have some open plots in the gardens. If you know of anyone that is interested in having a plot this season, please let them know. They can contact me with any questions, and the applications are available here: https://eagleheightsgardens.org/gardeners/plot-applications/
Maintenance reporting form reminder: Please use this form for reporting maintenance issues. The form automatically sends an email to me and the four garden workers who work hard to keep the gardens in good shape. If you email me directly with a maintenance issue, it will take more time to get to the people that can address the problem:
Use this maintenance reporting form for things like:
All water issues: Leaks, dripping faucets, non-functioning water, etc.
Reporting trees that need removal
Trees fallen on plots
Maintenance needs in common areas of the gardens
Do not use this maintenance reporting form for:
Plot specific questions, like borders (contact me via the registrar’s email: ehgardens@rso.wisc.edu)
Gardening questions (contact me)
Reporting weeds in another plot (contact me)
University Apartments maintenance requests (Here is their form: https://www.housing.wisc.edu/apartments/maintenance/)
Artemisia Annua: One of the major weeds that invades the Gardens is Artemisia Annua (also known as Sweet Wormwood or Sweet Annie). It has a strong aromatic smell and spreads easily. If you have this in your garden, please pull it out before it produces seeds. There are a lot of images here to help with identification: https://identify.plantnet.org/k-world-flora/species/Artemisia%20annua%20L./data
Workday opportunity: There will be a workday at Eagle Heights Garden this Saturday 6/15, from 9am-12pm. The workday will be brush clearing in the buffer zone North of the 500s row. Six volunteers are needed. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves. The group will meet at the EH garden shed at 9 am. Email me if you’re interested, and I will assign spots in the order of replies.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
