Come on out and get the season started, with the GCPCA first-annual Seedling Exchange and Garden Clean-up!
On Monday, May 18th, 2-4pm, we would love to see everyone out in the garden sharing experiences, swapping plants, starting some planting, and finishing the spring clean-up! This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow gardeners, get to know the 2009 GCPCA Executive members, and kick-off the gardening season in a laid-back and fun environment.
Here are the details:
When:
Monday, May 18th 2009 2:00-4:00pm (yes, that’s Victoria Day Monday)
Rain Date: any of you who are happy gardening in the rain are welcome to show up rain-or-shine. For the rest of us, the rain date will be May 23rd, at the meeting already planned for that date.
Where:
Garrison Creek Park Community Garden
Who:
GCPCA members and their friends and families, as well as any members of the community or other community gardens who would like to come check us out.
Why:
Get to know your fellow members, trade some plants and seeds, get started on the gardening season, and get the final clean-up of the garden completed.
What to bring:
Extra seedlings (home-grown or store-bought) or seeds to trade or donate, garbage bags and gloves for garden clean-up, water or other beverages, food for yourself and/or to share, annual or perennial plants you’d like to donate for the flower-beds around the perimeter of the garden fence, and your gardening spirit!
Although we’ll be looking for some help from the members to finish the garden clean-up (there’s a small amount of garbage and some garden debris remaining from the winter), there is not a lot of work to be done, so this will primarily be a social event.
I hope to see you all there!
