Compost has been delivered! Stay tuned for more information on getting involved in composting and how to use it in your gardens.
Although we started planting early, we hosted our grand opening ceremony on Saturday, October 24, 2020! It was wonderful to meet all of the gardeners and see the incredible plots already planted!
Here is a link to watch the ribbon cutting ceremony:
Please stop by and take a look and find some new ideas!
As of today all plots in the garden are sold out… WOW… what a wonderful response from so many people.
There is a Waiting List Signup Sheet posted on the Storage Shed wall for those who would like to sign up for future openings.
Thank You Everyone for making this a success.

All Paid up Gardeners are starting to plant their plots. So exciting to see it come to life.
All gardeners who have paid for their plots have been in the garden and placed their name stakes. If you haven’t paid yet, now is the time to do it. Once you have paid you will be notified when to come to the garden and pick your plot.
We anticipate the added nitrogen to arrive this Wednesday and be spread soon after. Once that is done and the drip lines are installed in each plot we will be ready to open for planting.
Here are the latest photos.
