Today, Saturday, August 19, 2023, at The Garden, the agenda was
pulling weeds, getting grass out of the garden tracts, spreading leaf mulch, and preparing raised beds. Our prep work as we prepare for fall planting.
With no expectations on the help we would get, we were blessed to find more volunteers than we could ask for; ready to learn and assist in the community garden!
It was warm as far as presence; and as weather goes, there were no complaints!
Our little crew got right to work, it was beautiful to see the foundation that we were laying. Watching kids as young as 2 take part in the community with pride and a grade schooler harvesting vegetables was a sight to see!
The community garden needs a lot more help, but this beginning gives profound hope for the future!
Days and time for Volunteers to help us harvest the spring produce and plant for Fall 2023 are:
Wednesday 6:00pm-8:30pm
Friday 6:00pm-8:30pm
Saturday 9:00am-12:00noon
Love to see you. Contact us at: crosslinkcommunitygarden1201@gmail.com for more information.
Activities and Needs
We pray your week has been good and the you are having a God-day. We wanted to provide a brief update to garden activities and needs.
We have kale that needs to be picked and eaten. Stop by the Garden on Friday, between 10:00-11:00 to get some.
We have squash that should be ready to pick the next week or so.
We pick up our tools from Lowes in Garner , from the SNAP-ED grant, on next Wednesday at 1:00.
Fabette donated a small shed and a chest to store tools and supplies. The shed is outside the Garden fence. Ivey will share the combination as needed.
We planted beans that are up already. We have to string the beans and cucumbers very soon.
We have 3 blueberry bushes planted alongside the fence and will soon add flowers to encourages the bees to hang out in the garden.

Wish List
We have a few things on the wish list and could use your assist.
We have a drafted website that we need to fund and launch. Cost of $400 includes annual hosting and maintenance fee. Thank you Willette and Wayne. Please send email to me to ask when to send donation to assist this effort. We are also looking to publish a brochure in English and Spanish to post in the Garden for information.
We want to pick up a dump truck load of leaf mulch from the City Landfill to enrich our soil for future use. Let me know if you have a dump truck or are willing to coordinate the effort
We are looking to utilize raised beds in certain areas of the Garden. We want to build these ourselves. Reach out to me if you are have building skills.
