To all the community gardeners, leaders, volunteers and supporters out there: let’s give thanks for another gardening season!

As a gardener at Ninth St. community garden, I’m grateful for these awesome fat carrots I just harvested. And for the fellow gardeners I’ve enjoyed chatting with this year. And, as always, for my hard-working volunteer garden leader Barb, and the longtime support of landowners Mark and Carole Stevenson. 

On behalf of the whole CGC board, we are so grateful to all the landowners and garden leaders that allow the various gardens in our network to flourish.

If you were a gardener this year, please take some time now to be sure you’ve done the following things:

1. Give us your feedback! Use this form to tell us how your gardening went this year.
2. Tell your garden leader whether or not you want to keep using your garden through the winter or next spring.
3. Clean up your garden plot. Ask your garden leader if you have questions about expectations for keeping your plot tidy over the winter. This is especially important if you are NOT going to use your plot again.

To all our supporters: we’re so grateful for you, too! And another opportunity to support community gardening is coming right up. We’ll be participating in the CoMoGives local giving campaign which starts on December 1. Donations made through CoMoGives form a huge part of our budget and therefore go to pay water bills, buy hoses and tools, mow the grass, purchase mulch and compost and other supplies that support community gardens.

We’re a small organization, so even a modest donation goes a long way! Watch for our emails and social media posts during the month of December for links to CoMoGives.
