Kindly refer to our Raised Bed Map to find where your assigned raised bed is located

When you enter the garden, you will notice the sides of the garden beds are painted with a number corresponding to their placement on the digital map. Physical copies of the garden maps will also be posted in the shelter house and billboard.

FAQs

When is the official start and end of the season?

The official season starts May 1st. The end of the season wraps up in late October-early November when we clean out the raised beds. This happens after first frost, when most gardening activities have wound down.

What happens if I get started late in the season? What if I miss my planting window?

First things first, don’t panic. There are lots of veggies that are quick growers or heat lovers that can be planted later in the season. Our general rule of thumb is stopping planting by July 1st as the peak of Summer heat rears its head. However, there are few cut and dry rules in gardening. We have had success with seeding greens like spinach, arugula and kale late in the season with bountiful harvests happening by September – as long as we kept the soil moist and frequently watered.

I ended up with too many tomatoes! Can I share my harvest with other gardeners?

Absolutely yes! We want to encourage everyone to share the abundance of food with others as much as possible this year. If you are overwhelmed with a flush of too much at once, we encourage you to place extra food on the picnic table under the shelter house. If you see some rotting/less-than-great produce on the table, please feel free to join in the “community spirit” of the garden and dispose of it in the compost bins. Shared produce means shared responsibility to keep our garden looking beautiful!
