How many pounds do you think you’ll be able to contribute from your plot?

Food for thought: You could grow one plant in your plot for donation purposes only!

In 2018 we donated almost 400 lbs of produce from our garden!  Thank you for your kind donations to the local food bank!

Here are the latest notes from our master gardener mentor!

• Please submit any suggestions for future quarterly meeting educational topics here.
• Important RAIN BARREL notice:  Do NOT drink this water or wash your hands with it! It is NON-POTABLE!  It may contain harmful bacteria that could be hazardous to your health!  Use the fresh water from the hoses for these purposes.
• Are you a “novice” gardener?  Just learning the ropes?  Feel free to reach out to Jo Ann Bartsch, who, as a Master Gardener, is our “mentor” at Greene Acres via email (jabartsch@att.net) with any questions. Click here here for some information on beginning your career as a vegetable gardener!
