October @ The Victoria + 40th Garden!

Hello Victoria + 40th Gardeners, 

​Wow, the first day of Autumn felt literal this year!

Harvest ​s​eason is officially upon us and then it will be time to put the garden to rest for the winter.

WATER SHUTOFF 

As always, we will shut off the water in the garden sometime between late October and mid-November, depending on when the frosts begin. We do this so the water lines won’t freeze.

CLEAN UP YOUR BEDS BY NOVEMBER 15TH

Cleaning up your beds​ for the season means cut​ting down ​a​ny rotting​/old vegetation​. ​

Doing this helps to keep the garden tidy over the Winter months.

​Please put any Greens ​Waste ​i​nto the ​Greens ​Waste ​Bins  - make sure to shake off soil first!

Feel free to add fallen leaves to your beds as cover.

"Can we still garden during the Winter?"

Yes, feel free to garden during the winter months, but remember, the water will be turned off.

NEXT YEAR - 202​7 SEASON

As we all know, our garden is a temporary one.

We hope to keep the garden going into the 202​7 season and beyond!

Keep an eye on your emails in Feb/March, as we will be reaching out regarding ​re-registration.

Happy Harvest!
