Sherburne County Community Gardens <br />Welcome Sherburne County residents to our first Community Garden! Our calendar year begins <br />with registration and ends with plots being cleaned and tilled. <br />April 1 -10 Pre-registration for 2009 gardeners. <br />April 13 -17 Open registration for new gardeners and previous gardeners <br />who would like to purchase additional plots. <br />In order to keep this garden as public as possible, gardeners should limit <br />their plots to no more than 2. <br />April 20 - 24 Garden will be tilled and cleaned of debris. <br />May 1 Plots will be staked and Gardens opened. <br />May 8 Any remaining plots will be assigned. <br />Please do not remove the stands and remember; all the gardeners are responsible for the <br />common areas (especially walkways). <br />Be considerate of your neighbors by supervising young children and keeping them from walking <br />in other gardener's garden plots. <br />Have a great growing season and, if you are able, plant an extra row for CAER, Becker Food <br />Shelf and Zimmerman Food Shelf. <br />Don't forget: You may exhibit any community garden produce at the Sherburne County Fair - <br />July 15 -19 in open class. Also, there will be a schedule of educational gardening topics offered <br />at each of the demonstration garden plots beginning May and throughout the growing season. <br />These presentations will be hosted by Sherburne County Master Gardeners, University of <br />Minnesota Extension Staff and Sherburne County 4-H members. Watch for the schedule of <br />events. <br />If you have any questions, comments and/or suggestions, please contact Sherburne County <br />Extension Office at 763-241-2720. <br />Sherburne County Extension Office -February 2009 <br />
