Member Potluck and Planning Meeting

Please join us for a meal, meet your fellow gardeners, and chat about plans for the 2011 growing season.

When: Sunday, February 13 at 5 p.m.

Where: Kate's house - 1399 Ella Grasso Boulevard (between Maple and Elm), 3rd Floor

What To Bring:

  • Food or drink to share
  • Seeds (if you have extras available to share with the garden, they'd be much appreciated)
  • Membership dues (if you haven't yet paid them)
What's On The Agenda: We're hoping to discuss ideas for crops and work flow over the course of the season, as well as address some organizational issues that may come up as we start to work together. Here are a few questions you might want to consider before the potluck --
  • What are your expectations for the garden?
  • Are there specific crops crops you'd like to grow or eat more than others?
  • What projects/goals would you like to see us work on as a group?
  • Are there garden projects you would be willing to take over individually?
  • How will we stay in communication with one another about what's happening in the garden?
  • What is the schedule for work days and what should we expect to do on them?
  • What are the roles/responsibilities of the garden coordinators? Are you interested in being a coordinator now or in the future?
  • What should we do if there is a conflict within the group?
  • What can we do to stay on good terms with the landowner and her tenants (our neighbors)?
