Revised September Garden Calendar

New: The Garden Open EVERY DAY!

The Community Crops Garden is now open EVERY DAY during ALL DAYLIGHT HOURS!

To make sure that everyone has the opportunity to garden, we decided to open the garden to the public.

If you need to use tools from the tool shed, you still need to come during scheduled times, because only the garden leaders have access to the tool shed. See the calender below for this official schedule.

However, remember: you can garden any day - not just the days listed on the schedule.



Don't forget to stop by to get some produce; there's a ton, and we don't want it to go to waste. Right now, there are: beets, swiss chard, lettuce, carrots, herbs, onions, and squash. Take some for yourself, and some for a neighbor! Or, pick some for the Mt. Morris Food Pantry.

There is so much growing in the garden! Don't forget to check out the calender link at the top of the blog to see when you can share in the harvest.

Pound-for-Pound Challenge

June 30th is the LAST DAY to pledge pounds for the Pound-for-Pound Challenge.

For every pound you pledge to lose through June 30, 2010, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Rochester Foodlink — enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.

Foodlink awarded us a $1,000 grant for the garden, to promote health and wellness in conjunction with this challenge. Help support Foodlink, the garden, and your health by pledging today!
