CURRENT NEWS:


QUICK WORK NIGHT – THURSDAY 5/12 AT 6 PM 

Rosedale is hosting a Great Day of Gardening this weekend, which means we will have neighbors and non-Rosedale gardeners in our space on Saturday.  Between the construction and the wind, the garden looks VERY shabby.  Please join us Thursday evening at 6:00 pm to help clean up our space.  If you weren’t part of the team who helped clean out the sheds or unload the POD, please plan to help.  

DUG GREAT DAY OF GARDENINGDUG is sponsoring a city-wide celebration of gardening, with support from Master Gardeners on May 14. Rosedale is participating by holding an open-to-the-public set of classes and tours from 9 to noon that day. Classes are at 9:30 and 10:30 and will cover organic pest control, seeds you can start directly in the garden, transplanting and water conservation. There will also be demonstrations on transplanting. We’ll need someone to make a few signs to put in the lawn strip near the street – please let us know if you’re willing to do this. It would go toward your volunteer hours.
Feel free to come join the fun and pass it on to neighbors and friends.

CLEANING UP GARDEN SPACE/TRASH AND RECYCLING 
Please make sure your personal plot is cleaned up.  This means:

  • If you have personal tools or supplies in your plot, they must be contained, ideally in a low profile container.  Tools  left out look junky, are subject to being mistaken for tools that belong to the garden and can attract vandals.
  • If you have piles of supplies like cages and stakes, make sure they are organized, neat and don’t exceed 3 feet.  Take extras home.
  • You MUST take your trash and recycling home.  There is no refuse collection of any kind at Rosedale.
  • Whoever threw their trash into the compost pile, please be considerate, remove the trash and take it to an appropriate refuse container.


BIG THANKS!

Rototiller: A huge thanks to Marsha for picking up and returning the rototiller, and to everyone who helped wrangle that 300 lb. bad boy off of and back on to her truck.  It was a beast!  Another big thanks to Jeff H. and Ron G. for operating the tiller for other gardeners on a super hot Saturday.  All combined, they probably tilled a couple of acres.  Or maybe it just seemed like it.  POD: Thanks to Sara for managing the POD delivery on Saturday and for everyone who helped unload it and return everything to the sheds.  There was a HUGE crew of at least 15 gardeners moving tools and equipment from POD to shed in what must be a record time of 40 minutes.Thanks for all of the muscle, everyone. Now it’s time to get our hands really dirty and start planting.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:Sarah and DUG are meeting with Parks on Thursday morning for an update on the current construction.  Watch for an update from Leadership later tomorrow.
