Gardener Brandon captured our garden and gardeners so beautifully at the seed swap, and did we mention we met Mayor Castor on Earth Day?
We were honored to have Mayor Castor join us for our Earth Day / Birthday celebration in April:
We look forward to meeting you in the garden!
Being a part of the community garden brings many rewards. Fresh organic produce of course, but also other benefits like meeting new friends while you enjoy Florida’s sunshine and the great outdoors in a beautiful patch of Old Seminole Heights. There’s yoga sessions on Saturday mornings beginning again September 8th, and several scheduled gardening sessions especially created for young children (next one also September 8th).
We know we’re an important asset to the neighborhood, and we need more people to be an asset to our efforts. Are you getting this newsletter from us each month, but haven’t committed yet to becoming a member? Don’t hold back! Go to this link to sign up now.
Or come out on a Saturday morning to ask us any questions you have about joining. Here’s what you’ll discover — we’re a sociable bunch, the rules aren’t rigid or stifling, decision-making is democratic, and we grow and harvest our garden collectively. It’s a fun place to be and a fun group to be a part of.
Sound good? We’d love to have you aboard with us!
We’re celebrating Earth Day a day early – and our garden is 9 years old!

Stop by to celebrate our birthday and we’ll give you a tour!

We have two bags of leaves left to mix into our compost. Fall is just around the corner and is sure to decorate our yards with plenty of leaves to keep us going through next year. As you(and your neighbors!) are bagging them up instead of putting them by the curb for pickup, please donate them to the garden. You can either drop them off in the garden, we have a spot just inside the gate from the back alley, or contact us and we can arrange for someone to pick them up.
We are looking for folks willing to plant and nourish seedlings late summer to help us prepare for our fall crops. Garden nannies would be willing to plant seeds and care for them so they are strong and healthy come time to plant in September. We have plenty of seeds, soil, and pots to get you started. Send us an email if you are interested.
With only 1 week left until our garden open house, we need all the help we can get to make our garden even more inviting.Please join us this weekend to help us prepare for our big day by:
