Get on the BUS!

Thanks to generous donations by Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, The American Community Gardening Association, and The GreenThumb community Fund, Inc., we are able to provide discounted travel, conference registration, and lodging for registered GreenThumb community gardeners who want to attend the ACGA’s annual conference. For $200, you receive conference registration including most meals, a shared hotel room, and round trip bus transportation from Manhattan to Atlanta.

You must pay $100 ($99 + fee) in advance to reserve a space, first come first serve. Balance due in the form of a check or money order when the bus departs August 4th.

For more information and the password for the discount, call (212) 788-8070.

You must be a member of a GreenThumb community garden.

Once you register there, GreenThumb will send you a conference registration form to complete.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER on the ACGA WEBSITE, your conference space is reserved once you sign up here.

Farming Concrete – Record your edibles!

Dear Garden Members,

There are now loose leaf binders in the garden that contain the sheets for recording what edibles you grow in the garden. Both are contain the basic Farming Concrete information as well as the sheets. One is stored in the shed of the west side and the other under the gazebo on the east side. There is presently one scale which is also in the gazebo. We plan to have another scale for the w/s as soon as possible.

We hope that Annette Jochum, from Farming Concrete, will be able to swing by this Saturday at the General Meeting (10 am-noon) to speak about the program and to start the data collection.

Happy recording,

Janice Vrana
