An update from the "All Gardener" meeting held Tuesday, September 18:
For the 2008 Garden Season, we will have raised beds and improved soil and drainage. To do that, we are ending the 2007 inaugural season at the end of September.
If you wish to maintain your garden through October, you will be responsible for spreading organic material and preparing your plot. When the frames are built, the frame will be placed around the existing garden, regardless of it being in use or empty. The frame should not interfere with the existing garden if there is one.

Garden Workday & End-of-Season Garden Party
Join us for a pot-luck continental breakfast, fellowship, and a little bit of work! Please bring something to share with the gardeners. Remember that there is no electricity at the garden, please keep that in mind!
If you do not plan to have a Fall garden, all summer garden materials should be removed by Friday, October 5 if you want help spreading the soil compost. On Oct 6, we'll be spreading and tilling organic matter into each plot. Bring a wheel barrow if you have one. Any plot that has not been cleared will not have organic material added to it or be tilled.

All Gardeners Meeting รข€“ CCA, Board Room
Saturday, October 20 at 8:00am
Garden Workday: Frame Building--WE NEED YOUR HELP! Both Gary & Al will be out of town, so we need all hands on deck to help! The frames for the plots will be built for all the plots hopefully. (If an additional workday is needed, it will be Saturday, October 27 at a time to be determined.) If you have one, we'll need a powerless screwdriver/drill with 1/4inch drill bit.
All plots need to be emptied by Wednesday, October 31 so that when the soil is delivered it can be distributed amongst the plots.
November
Soil
Friday, November 2, the soil will be delivered
Saturday, November 3, soil will be distributed by volunteers, hopefully!
If the weather doesn’t cooperate with our timeline, the dates will be pushed back by a week. An email will be sent out if that happens!
It’s been a wonderful first season! Let’s get the garden ready so that next season will be even better!
Can’t wait to see everyone at the garden!

Welcome Amanda!
Amanda Jekel (far right in the photo above) has assumed the position of Garden Coordinator for Old Town Community Garden. Jessica Trent led us in that role during our inaugural year but has had to step down due to added responsibilities at work.
Amanda has also been involved since the very first meeting, and has often served as the "go-to girl" for just about every project...meetings, the Garden Blessing, Grand Opening, composting, and just about all other pre-event activities. After a summer spent traveling Europe and Colorado, Amanda is ready for the role of keeping Gardeners informed and everything on track. While not working with the garden, Amanda attends her collegiate studies and enjoys her beagle puppy.
We thank Jessica for her hard work this year. And welcome Amanda Jekel to her new role!
