Gardening; 2:30pm April 25th with kids

Volunteers are working with students Friday, April 25th @ 2:30pm in the garden. If you have the afternoon free please join us. Fourth and Fifth grade students will be planting seeds and preparing containers for container gardening. Enjoy the sunshine!

The Weather Was Fine

Thursday was a beautiful morning in the garden. We were able to container plant carrots, move some Black Eyed Susan, mulch around the herbs and spray paint buckets. Things left to be done: water the basil seeds, plant more flats in the green houses (there are empty flats in the greenhouse,) water the containers, and plant the other buckets with veggies (root vegetables can be planted until April 24th.) There may be an opportunity to plant four raised beds with vegetables in the front lawn. The other beds next to the building can be planted with herbs.

Please feel free to garden when your time allows. If you decide to plant the containers or seed flats, please bring potting soil. Please label all of the things that are planted. The garden has a ton of seeds; just send an email to evtgarden@yahoo.com and I will make sure you get the seeds.

Enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

Meet us in the Garden, Thursday, April 16th around 10:30am.

Join us Thursday, April 16th to plant seeds, containers, and some general garden maintenance. Please remember to bring garden tools with you since there are not any kept at the garden. Potting soil is needed to plant the containers if you have extra soil please bring it with you!

Plants, Plants, Everywhere!

Many ambitious gardeners have started seeds and now have tons of plants growing under grow lights. If you find yourself in this situation and are thinking about composting those extra plants, keep the Garden Club in mind. We will take those plants off your hands, plant them at Everett or put them into containers to be moved to the Crestview site. Just email us at evtgarden@yahoo.com if you would like to make a donation.

No Manure!

Today's rain has made it too wet for manure shoveling tomorrow morning. The fields are too wet to drive through. Tomorrow's forecast looks beautiful and will lend itself to some simple garden maintenance. For anyone who would like to play in the dirt come at 11am. Bring shovels, clippers, rakes, buckets, to clip and move perennials, and yard waste.
