April TBD - Community Gardens Share and Care event at Wakeman Town Farm

This is a great opportunity for us to get together, as a gardening community, and share our stories about what has worked and what has not worked at the garden. Tell your tales, however tall they may be, about the thrilling victories and agonizing defeats at our gardening olympics. Pizza, wine and seltzer will be served.

Community Gardens Work Days

— Each member must perform three work hours over the course of the season. Bring weed-wackers, grass shears, pruning shears, anything to get rid of weeds.  Also needed are shovels and wheelbarrows to transport wood chips. 
— Plots must be weed-free, planted or ready for planting, or member forfeits plot. All pathways to the right of your plot must be weed-free and wood chipped.
— Email jobs coordinator Michael Beebe at mjbeebe@gmail.com with any questions or concerns, or if you are unable to participate in a work day for health-related reasons.
