Midwinter Musings: Garden Updates for February
Gardening Enthusiasts!
As winter blankets the landscape, anticipation for spring and gardening begins to stir. Spring is just around the corner, and this is the perfect time to reflect on last season’s successes and challenges while dreaming of new possibilities. With seed catalogs in hand and garden plans forming, prepare to nurture the earth once again. Soon the soil will warm and new growth will emerge, bringing life back to our gardens.
2025 Events Are Posted
We’ve updated our events page so community members can plan ahead. With few exceptions, we meet on the last Saturday of the month to work collectively in the garden during our Monthly Maintenance events. We ask community gardeners to attend at least one of the Monthly Maintenance events to help ensure a healthy and thriving environment for all plants and fellow gardeners.
Our social calendar will be lighter this year than it was last year, but we are planning two Community Constellations, an end-of-season Harvest Festival, and will share some great events our partners at Middle Shooks Run Neighborhood have planed. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, check out what we have planned this year.
A Note for Returning Gardeners:
The deadline for 2024 gardeners to notify garden leadership of their intention to return for the 2025 growing season was yesterday. If we weren’t able to get in touch, we’re sorry to see you go. Plots from 2024 gardeners that didn’t respond to inquiries were released to the waitlist today.
Don’t miss the next deadline! Returning gardeners should make sure to submit membership fees by February 28, 2025. If any returning gardener has not received their invoice, please reach out!
