November @ The Alma Garden!

Hello  Alma Gardeners,

​I hope you have all been enjoying the crunchy leaves all over the city - so rare that we have such a dry autumn!

​A​s we officially approach colder weather, please take the time to get your garden bed(s) ready for winter.

BEDS TO REST​ BY NOVEMBER 15th

​This is the ideal deadline for putting your beds to rest for the winter. This involves visiting the garden to pull up any dead plant matter and generally tidying up your bed(s) for the dormant months ahead.

If you haven't visited the garden in some time, please make it a priority to come out for one last visit before winter arrives to clean out your beds. Beyond general aesthetics, tidying your beds helps reduce rotting biomass in the garden, which mitigates rodent issues.

Thanks for your help with this; we know it can feel like a chore!

WATER ​S​HUT OFF

The water will be shut off and the hoses pulled up for winter​ in mid-November.
We will get everything set up again in early Spring - once we’re passed the final frost date.

Note: You are welcome to plant winter crops and continue visiting the garden, but remember the water will be shut off soon.

That’s all for now - stay ​c​ozy out there!
