Tax Day update! April 15 garden notes

April has been a great month so far- there are flowers blooming everywhere, there's still been some rain, and most of the garden plots are looking fantastic! We've had some really lovely open garden sessions around the Presidio- neighbors coming out and meeting each other, garden members sharing extra seedlings and produce, and lots of information exchanged about pests, how to plant, and when to harvest. 

We also had a fun volunteer event yesterday afternoon- we screened enough worm castings to fill 14 five gallon buckets and chatted about how we make compost in the Presidio. Coffee and pastries rounded out a sunny two hours. Thanks to those of you who came out and helped! Our next event will be May 26 at the Native Plant Nursery! RSVP here

Here's the upcoming schedule. We hope to continue to bring out a few seedlings when we visit the gardens.
