Straw for Mulch

We will be ordering straw for the garden on April XX. If you need to get straw for you plot, contact Karen immediately or email prairiehillsgarden@gmail.com so we can get your order in.

Straw is great way to mulch the garden which means less weeding and watering you will need to do. We order mulch from a local farmer and it is great.

Planning Meeting Update

Prairie Hills gardeners met tonight for a brief planning meeting to discuss the need for a new treasurer and to determine if we should rent a rototiller or not. We are going to look into renting a rototiller from Home Depot or from other garden members and two gardeners volunteered to act as treasurers for this year.

Good Turn Out For 2011 Garden Registration

This past Saturday, Meadowood neighbors signed up for the 2011 Prairie Hills Garden Season. It was great to see old faces and see many new faces as we get ready for a great gardening season this year. Plots are currently being assigned and new participants will be notified in the coming days about if they got a plot or not.
