Mulch Delivered

The city just delivered a few truckloads of fresh mulch. Feel free to use it for your gardens. It's great stuff. The piles are located down by the basketball courts.

Garden Registration Closed for 2013

All garden plots for 2013 are now full. If you are interested in gardening at the Prairie Hills Community garden in 2014, please email prariehillsgarden@gmail.com to be put on the waiting list.

Opening Day Postponed Until April 27th

Due to the wet weather, we are going to postpone the opening day of the garden until April 27th from 1:00-3:00pm. Hopefully that will give the soil a chance to dry out a bit so we don't compact the soil too much as we mark off plots.

So hope to see many of you out there to help mark off the plots! It's a great way to meet your fellow gardeners.

Just keep reminding yourself that April Showers bring May Flowers! (now if only we can get this snow out of the forecast).
