Garden Resources
The Giving Garden generously shares many of their resources with community plot holders. Please respect these resources, always returning them in clean condition. If something breaks, please communicate immediately to an Advisory Group Member or nimmogarden@gmail.com.
Shed Access
The sheds are locked and accessible by the Advisory Group. Due to COVID gardening guidelines, we are restricting access to tools. If you need to borrow any items, talk with an Advisory Group member and they will loan them to you.
Materials
The following is included in your plot fee. When you see it available, you are free to use it.
- Compost – 3 level garden carts of compost is allocated per 10×10 plot will cover 1″ layer. This will be dumped on the cul de sac.
- Wheat straw – bales will be loaded in the grass on the outer perimeter between the gardens and cemetery. About 1 bale per 10×10 plot. (After planting, put newspaper or cardboard where there are no plants. Straw goes on top. NO WEEDING will be needed if you do this. If you choose not to do this, you need to mulch in some other way for weed prevention.)
- Hoses/irrigation. There are spigots throughout the garden. Be respectful of these resources. Always wind the hose back up when done. Be careful not to damage neighbor plot plants with the hose. ALWAYS shut off the spigot when you are done or the hoses may burst.
