Dundee Community Garden This Week

Hello DCG Members and Friends,

Thanks to everyone who walked with us in the Dundee Day Parade last weekend, and helped at our booth!  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!  Pictures coming soon on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DundeeGarden


WEEKLY WORK NIGHT/ HARVEST NIGHT TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY) AT 7 P.M.    The residents of the Underwood Tower have really appreciated the weekly grocery cart we bring over that is full of fresh veggies.  Come help harvest!  And we need to spruce up the garden to make it look its best for tours this weekend! (see below)


NEIGHBORHOOD FOOD SWAP TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY) AT 7 P.M.   Now is peak picking and swapping season! We had two people from the neighborhood (non-garden members ) show up last week wanting to trade produce, and it's kind of fun to go home with something new, that you didn't grow!  Come join us!

OMAHA AGRI-FAIR COMMUNITY GARDENS TOUR SEPT. 3 & 4 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND)  Celebrate urban agriculture by touring local community gardens.  Our garden will be one of the stops on the tour.   Other gardens include Gifford Park, City Sprouts, NorthStar, and more.  Gardens will have volunteers to give free tours on Saturday from 10-4, or Sunday 12-4, or both days.  (Dundee Community Garden will have volunteers Sunday only.)  More information at bensonplantrescue.org/  (Note: tours are now free!


PLEASE CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN YOUR PLOT   Be considerate of other plot owners and keep the weed seeds down-- just toss the weeds in the compost bins.  Let's keep the plots looking good!


FREE OMA-GROW  We have some Oma-Grow in the NE corner of the garden-- help yourself if you can use any extra!
