During our first work day, we accomplished a lot: we pulled weeds, tilled all the beds, and removed the invasive brush that attacked our asparagus patch.
Work days
This season, we’ll be having Garden Work Days every Saturday from about 9 am – 11 am. Garden work days bring us all together to enjoy community, help each other out, and get some sunshine. On work days, the tool shed is open and you are welcome to use the tools inside (shovels, hoes, rakes, trowels, etc) as well as wooden stakes or tomato cages. If the weather is severe, we will most likely skip that week’s work day. Mowing and trimming will happen once (or sometimes twice) per week, typically on Sundays. You are welcome to come other days as you are able, just note if we are not there, you will need to bring your own tools.
Plot details
Currently, we have 8 plots available and 8 plots reserved. Plots are 4′ wide by 12′ long, and the cost per plot is $35. Plots can be reserved by writing a check to Wesley Church and specifying “Garden” in the memo line or sending $35 via Venmo (@ChristineBainbridge). Plots are first-come, first served and you are responsible for maintaining and watering your bed throughout the season. Once per week, we’ll all get together to tend to our plots (or come as is convenient for you). You will sign a garden agreement outlining our expectations and to ensure we’re all on the same page. Happy growing!
