Thank you to our friends at McCanns Farm for the mums. Heading to the garden right now to plant them. We’ll see if they’ll pop back up next year.

A Special Thank You to Scout Troop 67105, Clayton PD and our Season MVPs Steve Mathis and Linda Labinski!! Got the boxes cleaned out, gave new plants forever homes, and trimmed everything back. Our pollinators have a Winter home there. It was really nice to see Chief Franklin pulling weeds. Thank you to everyone that helped this Season. This is a true Community Garden. Still tomatoes sitting up there if anyone wants them. They’re on the cart.

Stop by tomorrow morning Sat Oct 25th. Help us put the garden to rest. Just stop by and say hi. Bring some ideas to make it better for next year. There’s football games at the park. Park by the Historic museum and walk down the trail. Look forward to seeing everyone. Thank you to everyone that’s been involved this year!!

We’re going to have an end of the year clean up day next Saturday 10/25 at 10 am! Scout Troop 67105 is coming to assist. Hopefully, everyone that’s been a part of our amazing journey this year will show up and lend a hand. Even if you weren’t a part, start Saturday. We’re going to clean out all of the beds and get Spring flowers planted for next year. Thank you to everyone that participated and helped make this better than last year. We’ll strive to improve more for next year!

Here’s the goal! Look at the difference Gibbsboro Community garden made in 10 years! Mostly everything they use is recycled or donated. Even though we have a good group of people working on our garden, we need to get organized and plan out the future. Please, get involved and stay involved so we can evolve to this remarkable garden!!

Sitting on the bench, under the gazebo, taking in this beautiful day. In comes October and there are red tomatoes and peppers that are ready to be picked here. Stop by and take some. Haven’t been here in a few weeks, but it looks amazing! We’ve got a Scout Troop coming over to help clean up and put the garden to rest on October 21st. Keep everyone posted, so we can clean up as a Community and start planting Spring flowers that night. There’s about 6 empty boxes right now, if anyone wants to get Fall into Winter crops going. Thank you to everyone that got involved and stayed involved since our Earth Day event!! This will get better every year!!

Some fresh picked vegetables sitting up at the garden. Feel free to go get them tomorrow. Don’t want them going to waste. Remember, if you’re overwhelmed with your own garden you can bag up your extras and leave them at the garden for someone else to use. Thank you to everyone participating!!

Had to take something today. Looks pretty picked through but there’s still vegetables growing and will keep growing for the next 2 months. Stop over and check it out. There’s still red tomatoes ready to be picked. Peppers are close.

So proud of how far this has come in a little over 3 years! Still lots of work to do. Thank you to everyone that’s participating and keeping up on the garden. Got the rest of the mulch moved today. Check out the difference in the pictures. Supported the tomatoes in the boxes. What needs to be done is all the dead leaves pulled off of the tomatoes. Stake the other tomatoes in boxes. Stakes and string are up there. Stop in on this beautiful day and check out all of the bees, butterflies and hummingbird moths enjoying the plants we gave them. By the way, who got to eat those cantaloupes? They looked good. Thank you all and please stay involved.

Little warm today, but it’s beautiful here. Everything is coming along. Tomatoes are popping every day. Some peppers, eggplant and even the cantaloupe that was planted are looking close to ready. The flowers blooming look amazing. Thank you to everyone participating. Especially, killing the weeds. It does look great and is noticed. Still learning and there’s still plenty of season to go, so stop by. If youre looking how you can help, keep on weeding and put the rest of the mulch in the flower bed to freshen it up. Thank you and enjoy. All suggestions welcome and encouraged.
