Important emails

A couple weeks ago, Shelia emailed out key email addresses of accounts that go directly to the coordinators involved. I thought it would be helpful to keep these on the blog too in case anyone needed to reference them:
steeringcommittee@615green.org

openhours@615green.org

communityassignments@615green.org

compost@615green.org

groupprojects@615green.org

memorialgarden@615green.org

now that we have membership coordinators we will create a
membership@615green.org

And of course if you ever want to email the blog, the email account I've set up for that is 6.15greenblog@gmail.com


 

Fresh Start

Here's a post I meant to do in the fall but things got busy. But it still works as I like to think about my plans for my plot at the beginning of each year.

All the work in the back corner of the garden inspired me to clear my plot for a fresh start 2014.  For awhile I have been debating taking out a rose bush that tended to grow out of control and extend it's thorns into my neighbors' plots and I decided that this was the year to do it. I also cleared out the dead tomato plants and other compost. In the spring I plan to plant a bit differently than I've done in years past with more veggies and greens. I can't wait!  And of course I plan to give updates in this blog. Here are my before and after pics.

What are your plans for the garden this year?

The Garden in Winter

I'm always amazed by how beautiful our garden is no matter what season. Even in winter with snow piled high, there is so much beauty to find. Here are some recents pictures I took after a recent snow storm.

Shout Out to Those Who Shovel Snow!

Thanks to all the great gardeners who have shoveled snow during this crazy winter. Here's Tim at today's workday making a path through the garden. Shoveling is hard work so I wanted to thank everyone who has helped out!

Changes in the Garden

                                                                                       

Thanks everyone for your patience while I've been on a bit of a maternity leave from the blog.  Now that my little guy is almost 4 months, I'm hoping to blog more regularly now.  With the little one, I haven't made it to the garden much lately but I went today and was amazed by all the work that has been going on.  For anyone who hasn't been to the garden lately, check out what's been going on.  Clearly people have been working really hard to make our space a great one for everyone.

The greenhouse is now at the front of the garden

And a lot has been done at the back of the garden for the new retaining wall

Clearly it's been a lot of work!
