Image
  Due to the immense amount of rain received this week and the future predictions of continued rain, the garden is temporarily closed to vehicle traffic.

The field will not be damaged by walking on it, so pedestrian traffic is still permitted.

If you are an existing gardener with us, we can simply amend your current lease agreement to include the new ones. New gardeners will have to complete and sign a new lease agreement.   Free Chicken Wire We have been given a bunch of chicken wire to dispose of, and there is still some available.

Second Round of Commercial Rototilling Completed The second round of commercial rototilling was completed today (Sunday). Another 10 plots were done, so the discounted price applied. It is unlikely that we will be able to achieve the volume required in the near future for the discounts to apply, so ...
