If you are signed up to receive the Weekly Weeder and have not been receiving it, here is a troubleshooting page to help. If this doesn't help, please let Sharon at scgardenweb@gmail.com know. Thanks.
Workday Saturday
Saturday, 1/28 - 9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Tasks will include mowing along fence line and weeding TSBVI paths. Many of the tasks will count toward TSBVI service hours so the workday will be a good time for gardeners to get in their TSBVI service hour for the spring season. Luda Voskov, Zone 3 Coordinator, will lead the workday.
Mushroom Compost Available - Next Week
There will be a delivery of Mushroom Compost next week (possibly Wednesday) that will be available to SCG gardeners at a cost of $1.00 per bucket. The compost comes from Monterrey Mushrooms in Madisonville. Information about mushroom compost.
Thanks to Bill Biggs for the suggestion and making contact with Monterrey Mushrooms!
Plant Sale Information
Postcards and Posters
There are a limited number of postcards and posters available that advertise our spring plant sale. If you have favorite stores or shops or businesses where you know you can post a notice, please pick one up in the trailer at Sunshine.
If you need more than a few, please contact Janet at
jartdaht@gmail.com and she will
make more available. If you would like to print your own copies are
available on the web site.

Press Release for Distribution
Please share this information with your neighborhood association and any other group you think would have an interest. Press Release
It's time to start collecting boxes for the plant sale. Ideally, members will collect those boxes that retailers use for display. Excellent choices are those from canned pet food and flats used to hold beer or berries. Not as excellent choices are big boxes. When you do collect those boxes, please place them in the trailer on and around the white tables. This will be ongoing until the plant sale on March 4.
