NEXUS Community Garden

Jerry and Desi will be at the garden this Sunday evening around 6:30 or 7pm. Feel free to join us for some epic planting and weeding. :D

“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”

There has been a change to the Work Day schedule: We will NOT be meeting next Sunday, September 6th. Instead, we will meet Sunday September 13th form 3:30pm-5pm. It is crucial to NEXUS that all gardeners come to these. Most jobs take hours/days with just a few people. We need a weeding army!

Friendly reminder that tomorrow is a work day at NEXUS from 3:30pm-5pm. We need all the help we can get!

There are so many green beans in the community garden! Please pick some today or tomorrow so we have some for St. Andrews on Tuesday!

NEXUS Adventures!

Hi all! I'll be in the garden today from 11am-12:30pm if you need any assistance.
-Desi (NEXUS Coordinator)

11 NEXUS plots will be growing throughout the winter!!! An all-time high :) Yay for grow tunnels and garlic and shallots.

COME PUT THE GARDEN TO SLEEP FOR THE SEASON this Saturday, Oct. 26th from 9:30-12:30PM. The more the merrier!

We've harvested 157 pounds of produce for donation so far this season!!! We like growing food and giving it away just as much or more than enjoying the flavors ourselves :) If you have produce to donate, leave it in the shed by Tuesday at 9:30 and we'll make sure it gets into hungry hands with the help of St. Andrew's.

NEXUS is attracting new, like-minded neighbors! Did you know the future Xavier Urban Farm is just across Cleneay and the new Earth Tubs are just behind the building mural... good things are happening in and around our garden :)

Thought of all of you NEXUS gardeners when I saw this come through my email this morning. If you're not into faith stuff, don't worry about it... just wanted to share!
