Thanks to everyone who attended the garden party!

The garden party was a great success! With about 25 volunteers we were able to plant most of our seeds and seedlings for the year and got our garden off to a great start! Check out our photos from the event.

We are still looking for people who want to get involved in the garden. We are now holding regular gardening times for anyone interested in stopping by.

Tuesday mornings 9:30 - 1:30

Tuesday evenings starting at 7

Thursday mornings 9:30 - 1:30

At these times someone who is an experienced gardener will be at the garden and we hope to get a decent sized group together at each of these times to work on weeding, composting and designing our fruit section of the garden.

If it is raining heavily or storming consider the session cancelled.

If you cannot come to the garden at one of these times but would like to volunteer please contact us at potatogarden@googlegroups.com and we can arrange alternate times.
Likewise if you would like to arrange a gardening session for a group at another time please email the list.

(for directions to the garden see the previous post about the garden party)

For more info email us at potatogarden@googlegroups.com (please note we won`t be answering our main phone line during the summer)
