Garden News
Folks, we only have two plots left! We've only been accepting renters now for two weeks, and we are surprised at how quickly it's filled up. If you're thinking about renting, I suggest moving quickly or they might be gone. Not to mention, the majority of our gardeners are in it for the "long haul". It might be awhile before someone gives up their plot!
The community garden is officially finished. This idea came to us literally mid-May, which is pushing the gardening season a bit, but it hasn't deterred gardeners. So many people in this area are starved for either sun or space, so they are thrilled with this new opportunity to garden. We only have 5 spots left and will likely be full by next week. It's been nice to meet new people and see their excitement for growing. One person is growing mostly flowers and herbs for flower arranging, another is selling her produce at local markets, and another is just interested in growing healthy, fresh food for the family. Whatever the reason, we are happy to have you in our gardens. I can't wait to post a picture of all the plots overflowing with flowers, herbs and veggies! It's not far off...
Carol Papworth from Russian River Land and Home stopped in yesterday to get to know more about us and why we decided to start a community garden. She writes a blog on local happenings in our community. She did a little interview and then compiled a quick video and write up on her blog.
It's official! We have our first plot rented and planted. For those of you out there who are thinking about renting, don't hesitate, the season is upon us. The sun is shining, the water is flowing, so let's get gardening!
