Hello Gardeners,
Plot borders/paths: Every plot must maintain a six-inch weeded border on all sides next to neighboring plots. If everyone does this and makes sure that any fences are placed at least six-inches in from the borders, there is a one-foot path between plots. These paths are necessary for many people to get to the water, and they also prevent gardens from encroaching on each other. The areas between plots can be some of the worst areas for tall weeds that go to seed in the gardens. Please keep the sides and back of your plot weeded. The wood chips that are available at both sites are a great mulch for paths and can help to keep the weeds from coming back as quickly.
Workday opportunities: There are three upcoming workday opportunities. Please reply if you’re interested and I’ll assign spots in the order I receive replies:
- On Thursday 6/6 there will be a workday at University Houses from 4-7 pm. Four volunteers are needed.
- On Friday 6/7 there will be a workday at University Houses from 12-3 pm. Four volunteers are needed.
- On Sunday 6/9 there will be a workday at Eagle Heights from 9 am-12 pm. Six volunteers are needed.
The workdays will involve weed whacking, brush removal, weeding, and mulching. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves. The groups will meet at the sheds at each site.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
