1. Potluck and Gardener Meeting: Gardeners are invited to join us at a kickoff potluck on Saturday, February 21 at 3 p.m., where we will collect dues for the 2009 season and select members to form an official community garden advisory board. We will also discuss possible garden improvements/amenities such as a port-a-potty for the whole season, community tools, etc. The potluck will be at Building #36, Red Drive, Traverse City, MI----in the Village on the Grand Traverse Commons, north of TBAISD, and just across from Greenspire School.
2. Roll call: If you wish to garden again this season, please email to tccommunitygardens@gmail.com by February 21 (potluck date) to re-claim your plot. If we do not hear from you by that date, your plot will go to one of the people on the waiting list.
3. Plot restrictions/Pricing: Due to ever-increasing demand, we are limiting plot claims this year to one per household/family.The price of plots will also be raised slightly this year to $32 for a whole plot and $16 for a half plot. This small increase will give us a greater pool of funds for garden improvements, amenities, and contribution to the well/irrigation system.
4. Water: The water situation is still unresolved as of right now. A master plan for the barns property will be drafted in May; however, given how difficult the water situation has been for us gardeners, we are trying to expedite the well process, and will keep you updated.
That's all for now, and we hope to see you on the 21st! Be sure to check the blog for more info and updates.
