Maintenance Day Saturday June 7th 9am-2pm

This week we had two large loads of compost and a load of wood chips dropped off outside the gate. We are going to need help moving it all inside. We will be up working from 9am-2pm tomorrow (Saturday June 7th.) We really need help getting this moved so if you are able please do come, if you have an extra wheel barrow or shovel please bring them along. RAIN OR SHINE! 

We had a great meeting last night. I am attaching the minutes. An important thing to note is that we changed our maintenance days. We are going to do it every Saturday from 10am-1pm. I am looking for volunteers who would be interested in leading a maintenance day. The only commitment will be for the day/s you sign up from 10am-1pm. I will organize with you beforehand to make sure you know everything on the to-do list. Your job would be to welcome people into the garden and give them tasks. Please let me know if you are interested/able to sign up for a day or two. 

Hope to see you all soon.

Saturday's Maintenance Day

Thank you to all who came out to our maintenance day this Saturday. It was absolutely wonderful. If you need help getting your plot ready for planted (it is time!) please let me know at madeleineberrevoets@gmail.com or 506-292-7646.

Our compost bins are ready to use. Please add all garden waste (no compost from home!) into the bin on the left. If you are up in the garden and would like to do some general maintenance we are trying to get all the compost in front of the bins moved into the left side bin.

PLANT SWAP

FREE PLANT SWAP: On Saturday, May 31, 8:00 to noon, Saint Mary's Church(780 McEvoy st.) is having their annual indoor yard sale, and we gardeners are going to be represented with a plant swap/giveaway table. You are definitely going to want to check this event out. The church's big, beautiful yard sale is always worth going to, and the plant table will give you an additional reason to go. If you have surplus vegetable or flower seedlings, houseplants, etc. you would like to donate please bring them.

After the yard sale you can head up to Marysville Community Garden for our Open Garden Day from 10am-1pm.
