We have had a very exciting season. In February we approved a plot redistribution which created 11 new plots. Many people who were on the waitlist for years now have a plot to grow. Our community has come alive this season in part because of this fantastic surge of energy from the new members! We have organized workshops, potlucks, 2 weekly CSA distributions and have been fortunate to have enough rain and sun this season.
The Parks Department project is still underway. The water infrastructure has been installed, but the water spout and water fountain are not yet functional. The city also re-paved the sidewalk outside the garden, placed flat stones at the entrance, re-painted the fence, and built a new small fence outside the large fence.
The Brooklyn Compost Project installed a new 3-bin system in our garden on July 21st, with the help of Debbie Sheintoch and our compost committee. It looks great!
The garden purchased new cedar tool shed this year with much help from Marian and Jules. The shed arrived on August 3rd. Jules, Eric, Flynn, and Bill Coleman have put a lot of time into weather proofing – caulking, patching, sanding and staining. It is looking nice!
