October at Alma

Hello fellow gardeners,

Fall has officially arrived at the garden––pumpkin spice season, as some call it, or the colourful preamble to Halloween (our favourite holiday!). Harvest is waning and we’re just about ready to put the garden to rest for the winter season.

Here are your garden updates:

CLEANING YOUR BEDS

Cleaning out your beds cuts down on rotting vegetation and gives the garden a tidy look through the winter months.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR BEDS ARE CLEANED UP BY NOVEMBER 1ST!

Greens waste goes in the greens waste bins (make sure to shake off soil first). Feel free to add fallen leaves to your beds as cover.

WATER SHUT OFF

We will be shutting off the water in the garden sometime in late October just before the frosts begin. This is so the water lines won’t freeze.

NEXT YEAR

As we all know, our garden is a temporary one. That said, we hope to keep the garden going into 2024 (and beyond!). We’ll keep you posted on any upcoming changes to the site.

Happy Thanksgiving
