Dundee Community Garden This Week/ Roofing the Tool Rack

Hello DCG Members and Friends,


MONDAY NIGHT 
HARVEST NIGHT:


ROOF BUILDING AND 
Just a reminder that Monday nights are our weekly work night/harvest night.  Please come between 7-8 p.m. if you can help harvest from the food pantry plot, weed, water, etc.  We donate fresh-picked produce to the resident of the Underwood Towers across the street as soon as we're done picking!  Also we'll be roofing the tool rack/ sign board.  We need people to help hammer shingles.   Please help!


NEXT DCG BOARD MEETING:  Thurs. July 14, 7 p.m. at Dundee Presbyterian Church, dining room.  All members welcome!


SAVE THE DATE:  WATERMELON FEED SUNDAY JULY 31, 3-5 P.M.


KEEP YOUR PLOTS PICKED:   We're starting to see some plots with produce not getting picked.  As a reminder, our by-laws state:  "I will harvest my crops when ripe.  I understand that if I do not regularly pick my produce when it is ripe, my plants may be harvested by other garden members during group work nights, and my ripe produce will be donated to the Food Pantry."


TAKE CARE FOR THE MOWERS:  We have great volunteers who mow the garden every week.  Please help them out by keeping the areas between plots cleared of any rocks, bricks, and over-abundant plants.  Thank you to our mowers!


NEIGHBORHOOD FOOD SWAP EVERY MONDAY AT 7:   The weekly food swap continues every Monday evening at 7 pm, at the Dundee Community Garden.  Neighbors are invited to bring their surplus garden produce, baked goods, homemade jam, and more to trade with others.  Bring something to trade, and take home something new!
