Hello Dundee Community Gardeners,
Fall Clean-Up Day is next Sunday, Oct. 18, 1-4 p.m. Please bring your own gardening tools: shovels, clippers, rakes, gloves, etc. We are asking everyone to pull everything out of their beds (unless you have planted some perennials). Because our compost bin is already full, we will be bagging stuff in yard waste bags, which we'll be asking people to take to their own homes and have the city pick up with the yard waste collections. (Bring a yard waste bag if you've got one; otherwise Sharon has quite a collection of them that we can use.)
We'll need help pulling plants out of the community beds, the flower beds, the pumpkin patch, etc., so this will be a great time to get in more community volunteer hours!
We'll have a truckload of Oma-Grow available for those of you who want to do some fall garden care, so your plot will be ready to plant next spring. Master Gardener Mary Anna Anderson will be giving fall garden/spring bed preparation tips.
We've started taking reservations for those who want to continue at the garden next summer. Please bring $20 if you wish to reserve your plot for 2010.
I'm attaching a 2010 Plot Reservation form, as well as an Exit Survey to get your feedback, to this e-mail. Fill them out at home and bring them on Sunday, or we'll also have copies available at the garden on Sun.
Anyone whose plot is not cleaned up by Nov. 1 will be bumped to the bottom of the waiting list for a plot in 2010. Our waiting list currently has 29 people on it.
T-Shirts will be available at the clean-up, so if you ordered a t-shirt, please bring $12 and pick up your shirt!
Also, we'll be selling Chico bags for $5. They make great Christmas presents. You can also support the garden by purchasing Chico bags at the Bread Oven.
Thanks and hope to see you at our clean-up on Sunday!

what about all those people on the waiting list to get into the garden? will those people have first dibs at spots? will there be a lottery or sthing like that to determine plot placement if the number of applicants exceed the number of plots?
ReplyDeletewhy do we need to throw any of the garden greenery away...all the vines, dead plants, etc can be turned over in the plots...its a waste of money to buy the paper bags when you can turn over all those goods into the ground at every plot...
