We Planted!

Thank you to everyone who came to help today! We got a lot done. First we gathered all the sticks, rocks, and other debris to clean up the area.
Some of the things being hauled were a little more precious than garbage or debris, but we still had fun hauling it!

Then, John Bramall brought his tractor and big tiller. He spread all the compost and worked it in the ground for us. Thank you John!
Once the ground was all ready, we made our rows.
Then, we planted! HOORAY!
The product of our work!

Here is everything we have planted so far (in 45 ft. rows):
6 rows--Red Onions
4 rows--Beets
1 row--Sugar Snap Peas
4 rows--Carrots and Radishes (intermingled)
1 row--lettuce
6 rows--Green Marvel Peas

Over the next few days I will be assigning out row care-takers, then I will email everyone who has contacted me with an assignment. Thank you everyone for all your help! If you have questions, please don't hesitate to email: hurricanegarden@gmail.com

First Meeting

The first meeting regarding the garden will be held at the community garden on Saturday, February 20 at 9:00 a.m. Come ready to work!

How is the Garden Organized?

We would like to divide the area into approximately thirty-five plots. A person or group of people will be assigned to each plot to take care of it during the growing season of this garden.

Taking care of the garden will include a variety of responsibilities, especially weeding.

Volunteers should plan to spend at least one hour per week attending to the needs of their plot. These plots are not personal plots. We will plant items in large areas, sharing and distributing all of the produce amongst volunteers and those in need.

Volunteers will also be expected to bring their own tools for working in the garden. The organizers are also volunteers and will not be liable for lost or stolen tools or other items.

If you are interested in working in the garden, you will need to fill out a city waiver form. If you are interested in this project and would like to secure a spot please email hurricanegarden@gmail.com.

What is the Community Garden?

This garden is for all who would like to participate.

Some people want to know how to garden.

Some people know how to garden.

Our goal is to get those people together, so they can all have a positive learning and teaching experience.

People who help with the garden will receive the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor. We will also be donating a portion of the produce to the Dixie Care and Share here in town.

The Catholic Church is allowing us to use a plot of land here in town for this garden. (Thank you Catholic Church!)
