The garden is open year-round, but our official Meet & Greet event will take place sometime in early April (TBA in the next newsletter). This event is a fun one and not to be missed––be sure to look out for it!

Beds to Rest At the Dunbar Garden
If you have dead/withered plants in your beds, it's time to pull them up in preparation for winter. We encourage you to make that final trip out to the garden to set your bed(s) in order before the nasty weather bumps it down to the bottom of your priority list, right alongside sorting the single socks in your sock drawer.
Winter Crops at the Dunbar Garden
As everyone knows, the Dunbar & 39th Garden is a temporary one, slated to run for the 2018 growing season only. We hope to continue the garden into 2019, but at this time, we don't yet know for sure. If the garden goes ahead, you will of course keep your beds from this year. Look for an update in the coming months––fingers crossed.
Giving Thanks for the Garden Bounty
It's that time of the year again––cool mornings, a break from the smoke, orange tints in the tree leaves. Lucky for us, fall is also a time of bounty and ripeness. Tomatoes, squash and corn are coming into their full colour and sweetness, and the soil is still warm enough to germinate those same cold-hardy seeds you first planted way back in the spring.

Hoses Are Now Hooked Up!
Water to the two hoses is controlled by the ON/OFF switch on the side of the cedar garden shed. Please make sure to turn the water OFF when you're done; this helps minimize the risk of flooding the site if there happens to be a leak in one of the lines. There's no need to coil up the hose when you're done either. Simply hook the nozzle over the edge of your box and leave it for the next gardener to find.

You can count on a monthly newsletter in your inbox, but for most of the day-to-day and week-to-week communiques, we use the Facebook Group. If you're fluent in the Mighty Interweb, why not join us on FB? It can be handy tool for getting in touch with us (and other gardeners) with garden related questions or watering favours.
