Almost all the plots are allocated, and more soil was delivered today. Not all the beds have soil, however, our build coordinators are working hard to get the soil for the last 15 beds by early next week.. The garden should be open for planting this weekend!
Updated: Jun 2, 2021
The build committee has been working hard to get the garden beds ready for planting, and the membership committee has been busy coordinating plot offers.
The drainage (gravel and sand) and landscape fabric have been installed in each of the garden beds. The team is working to confirm soil delivery for later this week, along with water delivery.
The membership committee is currently awaiting responses on round two of the plot offers. Any remaining plots from round two will be offered in round three this Thursday. Anyone who does not get offered a plot this year, don't give up! There is an option to expand the garden next year and if there is enough energy to do so, there may be more plots next year.
The video below shows delivery of the gravel...the slinger saved a lot of manual wheelbarrow effort!
The gravel and sand was manually levelled before another layer of landscape fabric was added.
We have posted another volunteer role that we urgently require: an Email monitor. Details are on the "Get Involved" tab. Please email if you are interested!
Also, there has been a delay in the soil delivery due to COVID, so the opening date of the gardet has been pushed out at least two weeks...opening date still TBD.
