NEWSLETTER<\/p>\n
As we get into the fall and winter seasons it is important to remember to continue<\/p>\n
to keep your plots in order and transition plants in accordance with the different<\/p>\n
growing climates. As spring and summer season plants shut down it\u2019s important<\/p>\n
A Note From<\/p>\n
to remove expired plants and replace them for the months to come.<\/p>\n
m McCray<\/p>\n
If you are a gardener who splits time in another area or spends more than two<\/p>\n
weeks away from your garden, the need to maintain your garden doesn\u2019t travel<\/p>\n
with you\u2014you must maintain your plot all year round. Make sure you have a<\/p>\n
registered partner who will be able to maintain the garden during your time away.<\/p>\n
Plots with excessive weeds or other overgrown plants not only detract from the overall beauty of the<\/p>\n
garden centers but can spread invasive weeds to the surrounding gardens.<\/p>\n
Other reminders:<\/p>\n
+ Please use the green waste, landfill and recycling bins only for the intended items. The trash<\/p>\n
company will not pick up bins containing incorrect items.<\/p>\n
+ After using garden center tools, please replace them in the sheds for others to use. We have had a<\/p>\n
rash of our tools locked behind the gates of an unattended garden.<\/p>\n
+ Thanks to all of those who have spent time getting their gardens in order. | would like to remind<\/p>\n
everyone that it is each gardener\u2019s responsibility to keep excessive weeds out of your garden and the<\/p>\n
surrounding paths, and to remove all plot items not used for gardening.<\/p>\n
