October Work Day - Harvest and Clean Up

Our 2011 growing season has ended and we had several gardeners on hand to assist in garden and plot clean up. We trimmed back the hedge perimeter, cut back the knock out roses, cleaned out individual and sponsor plots and added a good layer of mulch to the plots. Several gardeners even planted garlic to winter over. The weather was perfect for our last work day, and we ended the work day with a lunch of cheese broccoli soup and bread pudding.

Thank you to all of our gardeners for another successful year (even with the scorching summer!) For those that weren't able to make it, please remember to have your plot cleaned out by Thanksgiving.

Have a great fall and winter and we'll see you all back in the spring!

2011 Kid's Fall Social

We had a beautiful fall morning and a great turnout for our second annual Kid's Fall Social at OFW Community Garden. The garden offers 2 events per year free to children. Thank you to everyone who makes these events possible by helping our various fundraisers throughout the year!

Kids of all ages got to decorate mini-pumpkins, participate in a corn-on-the-cob eating contest, spit watermelon seeds and enjoy lunch in the garden with their families and new friends. The kids also learned about how composting works and had fun flinging cobs and rinds into the compost bin. Thank you to all that participated and we look forward to seeing you in the garden again!

Community Garden Fall Social Saturday October 15th!
