Meet us in the Garden

Come work in the garden on Monday, July 19th at 7pm. Monday night plants will be moved, new compost piles built and tomatoes re staked. Please bring shovels, twine and gloves. The plants look beautiful and the rain has kept them well watered.

On August 8th our garden will be on the Gears and Garden tour for the American Community Garden Conference. It is really an exciting opportunity to share the joy of the garden.

Last Monday, compost was placed over the existing beds at the garden and on the three new beds that were plowed a couple of weeks ago. The new beds will be shaped on Tuesday and then fall veggies will be planted for the students.

Thanks for all the good work!

Garden meeting, July 6th.

Just a reminder that we will meet on Monday evening at 7pm in the garden. With the rain, the beds look great and veggies are growing. This week will consist of lawn clean up, trimming and weeding. Please bring tools to trim the Rose of Sharon, weed around the greenhouses and shovels.

A free donation of compost has become available! It can be picked up on Mondays. We are just in need of a truck and a few volunteers to pick up the compost. Please email the garden at evtgarden@yahoo.com if you would like to help. The goal is to pick it up on Monday, July 13th and unload it that day/night in the garden.

Thanks to our farmers, the three beds have been tilled in the front lawn of Everett. The next step is to add compost, then shape the beds, and fill with fall veggies. These vegetables will be grown with the specific intention to serve to the students at Indianola Alternative School.
