Goodbye Chalkboard- Hello Wrigley Garden

Huge thanks to everyone for making the Chalkboard such a success. I wanted to let you all know that this site will remain here for archive purposes but we are moving to http://wrigleygarden.org

Wrigley Garden will be the new spot for garden updates, food exchange info, tree planting projects and anything else we need to cover.

Please visit our new home on the web.

The Chalkboard will be archived so no need to worry about that Limoncello recipe, it is still there waiting for you.

Wrigley Garden- We Can Dig It!

Wonderful news for all my gardening friends and neighbors. 1950 and 1960 Henderson Avenue has been approved for us to start our Community Garden.

Today we will be out there measuring and checking out the property. We heard that this land was once Indian land, so amazing. If you are interested in reserving a plot please let us know. You can email me @ chalkboardcoop@mac.com. This lot is huge so there will be plenty to go around.

We want you to know now though that there is a catch with the property (but of course) we will be able to farm here for 2 years only. We must move out January 31st and return the property to the city. But the good news with that is they will be building Habitat for Humanity housing there and by then we will have found a permanent piece of land. Think of this as a practice run.

Anyway, its all very exciting. I'll let everyone know when its time to dig.

Thanks for all the help and support this is going to be great!

Food Exchange This Monday

Aloha Gardner's-

Don't forget co-op swap this Monday night. I'll be bringing red leaf lettuce and some other goodies.

I'm hoping to pick up some citrus from someone. I had to buy lemons at the market this week, not only did they look plastic and processed but they were very expensive. Boo on that!

See you Monday, happy growing!

Wrigley Is Going Green Makes A Garden

The city council meeting was a success. The motion was granted for Wrigley Is Going Green to enter into a 2 year lease with the city to turn the Henderson property into a community garden.

Big thanks to Lisa, Mauna, Jenny and Annie, who even offered to pay the water bill. What a great start to a great summer.

I'll keep the facts posted here on the Chalkboard.

Happy growing indeed!
