Fence contractor coming back after Thanksgiving for more fence work
Move sensitive plants along the fence to pots
Pedestrian gate being installed on the Maspeth side
Need a chain and lock for the new gate – what is access like? Can we open it from both sides? This gate should be strictly used as the hydrant access gate.
Need to think of a better way to waitlist private plots.
- Landed on becoming more involved is helpful, but the garden is so much more than private plot access. Can potentially provide little areas throughout the garden that people really desiring a private plot can maintain themselves. Also encourage, as always, to get heavily involve in community beds.
- have historically documented involvement, but this can get tricky and “micro manage-y”
Question came up that what if they want to plant something in the community beds that’s personal to them? Need to run by Sam and Victoria – they are both open to planting community desired plants, but want to do so if it makes sense
- talk with Sam and Victoria if you have a specific desired plant for the community bed for 2024

Dates

Projects for 2024

Rat mitigation. Hire someone to help?
New furniture

What equipment do we need that green thumb doesn’t provide?
