Hello Gardeners,
Ending the season: As the gardening season comes to a close, I’d like to share a few reminders:
- If you are planning to return to the gardens next season, the renewal deadline will be Feb 15th, 2025. Applications will be available beginning Dec 15th, 2024, and I will send more reminders.
- The only people eligible to renew a garden plot for 2025 are the ones that are currently assigned to the plot for 2024. If you are not sure of who is listed on your plot, please contact me. If you would like a currently unlisted person to have the plot, you must add them to the records now.
- To be eligible for renewal one gardener from each plot must either do a workday or pay the no-workday fee for 2024. I will be sending out a reminder email to all gardeners that have not done this yet. If you have not done a workday and would like to, we may be able to find an opportunity still this season. If you are paying the fee, you will have until Dec 1st, 2024. Please contact me with any questions.
Walnuts in the weed pile: It was reported this morning that someone dumped a large pile of whole walnuts in the EH weed pile. Please note that no waste from outside the gardens can be brought to the weed piles. We particularly do not want walnuts there, since the pile is often transferred to the Student Farm, and they do not want walnut trees coming up in their gardens.
Portable Toilets: The portable toilets will be picked up from both gardens next week and they will be brought back in March of next year.
Parking: The plan is to have parking remain open on Eagle Heights Drive until November 15th. If it snows before that and UW Apartments Grounds has to plow, we may lose the parking signs earlier. Parking at University Houses Gardens will also remain available.
Happy gardening,
Lily
