Seeking Volunteers for the Community Garden
We are seeking volunteers of any age, who can help on Saturday mornings for just 2 hours (9-11 am).
The next task is to rebuild the raised bed sides that have collapsed.
The tomatoes were grown from last years seeds. They were raised at St. Cuthbert’s. The garlic planted last fall was from selected plants from last years crop. Each plant gives 8 seed cloves and we now call these “The Maple Grove” variety! The garden now has garlic, dill, peppers, and tomatoes(cherry red, and black).
A big thank you goes out to the volunteers who cleared the weeds and planted tomato plants on Saturday June 22
If you, or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please contact Daniel at [email protected]
