Marching Towards Spring: Mid Shooks Run Community Garden News
Gardening Enthusiasts!
Though winter has kept the garden landscape still, the work of growing community has continued. Behind the scenes, volunteers have been planning improvements, preparing for new plantings, and laying the foundation for another season rooted in sustainability and connection.
March Events
Pause - Plot Renovation Underway
Before you start planting, please pause! This March, we’re undertaking a major improvement project: replacing all aging plot frames and increasing bed height from 10” to 12”. Each plot that wasn’t replaced last year will also receive a fresh layer of topsoil. If you have perennials you’d like to preserve, we encourage you to attend our March special maintenance days to lift, protect, or temporarily relocate them before work begins.
The Official Growing Season Starts Today!
With spring on the horizon, our season officially opened March 1st, marking the start of another year rooted in sustainability and shared effort. Whether you’re planting, prepping, or simply reconnecting with the garden, we’re grateful to grow alongside you.
2026 Membership Fee Deadline Passed!
Our renewal deadline for returning gardeners was February 28, 2026. To honor our commitment to fairness and the growing waitlist, any unpaid plots have now officially transitioned to new gardeners. We’re grateful for the enthusiasm around the garden and look forward to welcoming both returning and new members this season.
A Warm Welcome to Our New Members
This past month brought an exciting wave of new memberships, and our garden community continues to grow. To our newest members—welcome! We’re so glad you’re here and can’t wait to cultivate healthy plants and meaningful connections alongside you.
