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!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working hard to update the website. Please check it out if you’re interested. You may find the FAQ section particularly helpful!

Community Gardeners,
Thanks to Sharon Bright’s recommendation, we now have a source of organic compost sold in bulk:
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!
Hello gardeners,
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived. 🙂 We are now accepting reservations for the community garden for the 2010 growing season!
Click here to get the form: http://sites.lafayette.edu/organicgardening/community-garden-forms/
Please return your form and payment to box #9456 Farinon Center. If you have any preferences about location, make sure you write it on the form. Also, if you’d like to share a plot and are looking for another family, you can post that info here or email me and I’ll try to get you in contact with others (leap@lafayette.edu).
Hello gardeners!!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful winter and are ready for another great season!
If you are interested in having a community plot, the application forms will be available soon, but are not yet available.
I will post them to this website, send them to previous plot-owners, and send out a campus-wide email. Those who had plots last year will have first priority on their plots again this year.
I will be in touch soon!
Hey everyone!
You may be wondering about that awesome-looking shed out at the garden! It mysteriously popped up on Saturday (July 12th). This shed was designed and built by a student, Scott Stinner, in the Sullivan Trail parking deck on campus. Then John Wilson brought a big platform truck and we brought it over and assembled it over the weekend.
This shed WILL be available for your use to store things like garden tools and other small items by next week. About half the space inside will be designated for the community garden and half for the student-run garden. We will keep it locked, probably with a combination lock (and I’ll send you an email with the combination).
We will be painting it in the next week or so, and I’ll post again when it’s ready for use.
