Happy New Year

Memories of the garden from Summer 2010. Photo taken by Cliff Reiter.

If you have any great photos of the garden like this one, please send them along!  Happy Winter and have fun relaxing and planning your garden in the spring. 🙂

Donate your extra veggies!

Hi all! Here’s a message from Nickie Rojo about produce donations to Safe Harbor:

Hi everyone! Thank you to the person or persons who filled the Safe Harbor basket with zucchini and cukes! I really appreciate you getting the ball rolling! Thank you to everyone in advance for all of your veggie donations and for signing up to deliver. If everyone could sign up for one day, I think we can fill the rest of July and August. Safe Harbor would like to receive the donations between 1 and 3 pm so it doesn’t coincide with their lunch schedule. The woman in charge there is Annie. I am going to put a sign up sheet on the wall inside the shed at the garden. That way everyone will have access to it. Let me know if there are questions or concerns, and thanks again for your efforts!

Here’s the schedule:

You are welcome to attend any and all of these events!

We’ll be visiting the garden at 4PM on Wednesday as part of the tour and I’ll be presenting about it on Friday at noon for the Brown Bag on Campus sustainability.

Hope to see you there!!!!!  And Happy Earth Week!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Organic Compost Source

Community Gardeners,

Thanks  to Sharon Bright’s recommendation, we now have a source of organic compost sold in bulk:

Cierech Greenhouses
23 Winters Rd, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865
(908) 859-1899

The cost is $30 per yard (and a dump truck holds about 8 yards). The only downside is that they do not deliver, so we need to find someone with a truck.
Contact Mike Jordan if you’re interested!

The Community Garden on TV?!

Hey all,

Two exciting things:  the garden project has been covered by local TV shows twice this year!
On Monday, April 12th at 8:30PM we’ll be on channel WFMZ 69 on the Navigating your Life show.  Myself, Mickey Adelman, Professor Veshosky, and Jason Seigel were interviewed for the Going Green Earth Day special.

On Earth Day, April 22nd, we’ll be on the show Tempo at 7 :30 and 11:00PM on PBS channel 39.  Professor Wilson and I were interviewed and Bryan Hendrickson helped out too.

Memories from 2009 :)

This beautiful collage was made by Denise Galarza Sepúlveda (in plots #28 and 29). She tried to include an image from every garden space in the 2009 season.  Click on the image to enlarge it.
