Overgrown Weeds - Weeds outside of the garden will be taken care of, however it is each gardener's responsibility to maintain around thier box. Please take the time to pull the weeds and pile them up on the other side of the fence near the trailer.
Klamath Garden Tour - Klamath Sustainable Communities is hosting a Klamath Garden Tour on Sunday, August 15th from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM and the Klamath Coummunity Garden is a part of the tour! It would be great to have as many gardeners as possible participate by volunteering an hour while the tour is happening. Contact Helene is you are able to participate.
Water - please be sure to turn the water on and off from the main handle located in the back left corner of the garden. Also, please turn the spigot handle off at the hose and release the water pressure from the spray nozzle. This will help keep the hoses from developing cracks and leaking.
Gate Lock - please check the lock before you leave. We've had a few reports that the lock was open. The numbers are sensitive and have to be aligned correctly.
