A hefty load of mulch arrived this week, and what perfect timing as the weeds were already creeping up. Our gratitude to MuralArts for making it happen!!

Also, we have two important upcoming events in May. First is our MONTHLY ALL-GARDENERS MEETING set for Monday, March 4, 6:30-8:00. Attendance is encouraged but not required; all gardeners and anyone interested in the garden are welcome to attend. It will be held in the garden if weather permits; if it's rainy we'll be at the Church, 2808 W. Thompson Street.

And -- our next CLEANUP DAY is set! Saturday, May 16, 9am-2pm. All are welcome to drop in, pull weeds and clean up, meet your neighbors, and enjoy some light refreshments. Hopefully we can get the grill fired up for the occasion! Stay tuned!

Greetings from Brewerytown Garden!

We have two exciting events coming up at the garden. April 11th is the 8th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup Day and Brewerytown Garden is one of this year's participants. We invite all neighbors and volunteers to help us ready the space for this year's growing season! You can sign up to volunteer here. Cleanup is from 9am-2pm.

Have you always wanted to grow veggies but weren't sure how to start? Gardener Jim is doing a seed starting demonstration on April 11th at noon. Topics will include: 
* When do I plant my seeds, and what do I plant them in?
* How much water will they need?
* What soil is best?
* How deep do I plant seeds? When is the right time to transplant them?
* What do I do about those pesky pests?
* And much more!

Jim will also show you how to make seed starting pots out of newspaper!

All are welcome to attend!
