Penn Yan Community Garden Plans 2014 Member Orientation

Hello friends!

On Saturday, April 12, the Penn Yan Community Garden will be holding two member orientation sessions at Milly's Pantry on Main Street in Penn Yan. The first session runs from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and the second from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Both sessions will cover the same topics and are open to new and returning members along with the general public.  Anyone who is curious about the community garden is welcome to attend.

On the agenda for the orientation sessions are: a review of the Garden's membership agreement and rules, an overview of garden maintenance teams, and a short presentation on square foot gardening, which is an efficient way to maximize growth in the Garden's 4 foot wide by 10 foot long plots.

The Penn Yan Community Garden, located off of Pleasant Avenue, will officially open for the 2014 growing season on April 26. If they have not already done so, returning members are encouraged to submit their signed membership agreements (downloadable from the Garden's website at http://pygarden.blogspot.com/p/become-member.html) in advance of April 26 to ensure their plot and maintenance team selections. Annual memberships are $25 per plot.
