What’s needed: approximately 30-45 minutes to water and weed the beds and then a few minutes at the end of your week to post on the Medicinal Garden message board what got done, and anything you noticed that needs doing, to help the person who’s following you. (Guidance is available, if needed, for web posting). Depending on the weather, 3x per week seemed to be about average last year. There are rain barrels and buckets for watering and some small hand tools for weeding on site. Extreme conditions could require more visits. You will receive a map of the garden that clearly shows the beds and the paths, and as the season goes on, we’ll post color photos online of which plants are the wild medicines. We’ll also post the list of volunteers. If you see an opening you can fill, please do. Earlier in the season, there’s more weeding, later, more watering.

THANK YOU!!!

11:16 AM Hey everyone,
the wild gingers that were dormant came up this year as well as the beautiful and mysterious bloodroots! These are marked with signs by the maple tree in the north corner of the garden. Stay tuned for planting days coming up as well as new pictures soon.

thank you to everyone who is helping the garden by signing up on the watering/ weeding schedule. Please feel free to email me with any questions. We'll have a map for you by the 1st of June.

green blessings and much peace,

Robin Rose

I put your name down for the 2 weeks you've signed up for.

See you in the garden.

Bob, aka, the Stickman, has said he'd deliver water 2x weekly this season, as needed. I'm following up to see if that will be happening regularly.

If there is no water in the barrels and it is your week to care for the garden, please use the buckets and go to Mary's house for water. It's across Clinton Road, one house to the left of the big house right across from the garden. The spigot is on the right side of her house. If anyone isn't clear on this instruction, let me know and I'll show you where the water spigot is. Thanks.

I'm away Friday the 13th -Friday the 20th and the garden is so in need of regular watering. If you don't have time to weed and can water everything that would mean so much...and how beautiful it is, but we're losing some plants to lack of water in the intense sun, yes, even with so much rain.

PLEASE someone take on this week!!! If you can't take the whole week, come when you can and post that you're doing so.

THANK YOU,

I will water & weed the garden the week beginning August 10th & ending on the 16th. My cell is 973.879.5892 & email is sblodgett@greenelementsdesign.com.

All good green things,

Green Blessings,

I'll take the week starting Sunday August 24 - Saturday August 30. My phone numbers is 973-853-2123 and cell is 973-713-9238. I'm excited to use our new cart to haul water then too!

Green Blessings to you!

thank you so much for signing up for the August 24th week. You're on the board!

Green blessings and much love to you,

Robin ah yes, the little green wagon : )

yes, the plants get really really dry in this weather on that sunny hilltop. Watering every day would not be too much!

Can anyone out there pick up the rest of this week??? If so, please let me know.

I can't go at all, unfortunately, and would really appreciate the help for the plants.

Thank you so much.

Green Blessings,
Robin
