Getting going at Arbutus

Hello new gardeners,

We seem to be stuck in that indecisive early spring weather, where bluebird days tango with flurries, and daffodils fend off the frost. In general, it’s still a bit early to start gardening, but we’re certainly getting close.

Here are some important updates for March:

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to register and pay for your garden beds for the upcoming growing season.

The deadline for registration is March 15th.

CHANGED YOUR MIND?

If you are no longer interested in being part of the garden, please send us an email ASAP so that we can allocate your bed(s) to someone on our very long waitlist. We’re sorry to see you go!

GARDEN SHEDS

We will be stocking each of the garden sheds with buckets and hand tools this month for you to make use of. The combo for the shed lock is 000 for all three garden sheds. Please keep the sheds tidy, and let us know if any tools go missing or get damaged.

WATER

We will be hooking up hoses and activating the watering system once we’re past the last frost date, which is typically in late March or early April. Meantime, the rain will do the trick.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to register.
