As always we are in need of volunteers to help maintain the garden common areas and the unused plots.
Volunteers are a very important part of the garden program. Without them we wouldn't be able to have the gardens.
I'd like to thank all the volunteers who came out and helped us mark plots and have helped with the mowing, filling water totes, etc.
If you would like to volunteer please let us know.
VOLUNTEERS
We had alot of problems with people stealing from the gardens last year. In an effort to control the theft problem for this year we will no longer allow, walkers, dog walkers, joggers, and others who do not have a garden with us.
We did not issue vehicle tags this year. If you still have last years tag you can use it. Please make sure your tag is visible in your vehicle. If you need a tag, see me at the garden after we open and I will provide you with another one.
Bender's is located on Minor Rd. in Copley. Stop by and check out their vegetable plants for your garden.
I have sent out letters to all of last years gardeners. . If we did not hear from you by April 30th, you plots may have been made available to other gardeners. If you still want to garden, call us. There are many great plots still available.

REGISTRATION
THE GARDEN IS NOW OPEN!
Welcome to our news letter. Watch here for garden happenings.
Mark Bender of Bender's Farm Market did the field work again this year. The weather made it rough going but we finally got it all done.
Abandon plots were a problem last year. If you are going to abandon your plots please let us know so that someone can care for it before the weeds take over, or so that we can mow it to control the weeds inside the garden area. We'd like the garden area to look nice and well tended.
Also, please be advised that we are not permitted by the reservoir or in the woods. This is considered tresspassing and you can be prosecuted.
