USF Student volunteers joined us at the garden on Saturday and helped us work on cleaning up the space after summer. It was a fantastic group and they were a huge help! Thank you!

Join us 6:30pm on Monday, July 17th for this month’s meeting at c.1949! It’s time for a lighthearted break from our usual monthly garden planning meetings so our next one will be more of a social event. We’ll be kicking back at the beer garden c. 1949 west of the Lowry Park Zoo (address is 6905 N. Orleans Avenue, but you’ll see their sign on Sligh).
There’s beer of course, but also wine, snacks and usually a food truck; in other words a little something for everyone. Plus a good time for anyone who joins us. Let’s talk about what we should be planting in the fall, and then just let things roll casually and informally.
Bring a friend!
Curious about compost? Community members bring us kitchen scraps and deposit them in the white buckets just outside our fence. We have a 4 bin compost system which we dig out at least once a week and then layer in the scraps & coffee grounds together with dry leaves. Do you want to help us compost? We always welcome more!
Yes:
No:
We use this dirt to plant everything in our garden which adds nutrients back in to the soil.
The compost pile is usually open early on Saturday mornings if you want to come by and see how it works, or we welcome scraps in the buckets at our front gate at your convenience.
Thank you for helping us grow!
We’ve planted dozens of okra plants to take us through the summer. We’ve even harvested a couple of okra! And so it begins…
Join us for our May planning meeting at 6:30pm on Monday, May 15th. We meet at the Seminole Heights Branch Library located at the corner of Osborne and Central. This month we’ll likely discuss fundraising for the garden, and we’re open to hearing ideas both new and tried-and-true. So please join us Monday to share your thoughts! Everyone is welcome!
Our April garden planning meeting will be Monday, April 17th at 6:30pm, at the Seminole Heights Branch Library located at the SE corner of Central and Osborne. We will be wrapping up last details for our Earth Day Birthday celebration as well as discussing transitioning the garden into the summer season. Join us!
Join us on Earth Day, April 22nd, as we host our open house and birthday celebration. If you haven’t been by lately, come take a tour before the garden goes (mostly) dormant for the summer. We’ll be open starting at 10am and will give out little seedlings as long as they last. It’s our birthday gift to you, our community.
We hope to see you then!
A huge thank you to Madeline Baker for our new look and logo – we love it!
