From the Registrar: August 13, 2024

Hello Gardeners,

Workday requirement: Every plot is responsible for one workday or one no-workday fee each year. There is not a lot of the season left, and many gardeners have not done a workday yet. All gardeners that apply to renew their plots for the following year must be in good standing, which includes fulfilling the workday requirement for the previous season. Please tell me if you have any questions about this.

Workday opportunities: There are two upcoming workdays at Eagle Heights Garden:

• There will be a workday on Friday 8/16 from 9 am-12 pm.
• There will be a workday on Sunday 8/18 from 9 am-12 pm.

Both workdays will be clearing/weeding empty plots and the buffer zones to the North of the garden. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves. The groups will both 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.

Preserving food: If you’re looking for ways to preserve your extra produce, there are a lot of great options. The National Center for Home Food Preservation has guides for canning, freezing, drying, fermenting, and more: https://nchfp.uga.edu/#gsc.tab=0

Thanks, and happy gardening,

Lily
