Garden committee members are hosting happy hour Tuesday evening at 5:30pm. All garden curious residents are welcome to attend to get a sense of the duties involved with volunteering.
What: Get to Know the Garden & Gardeners
When: Tuesday February 28th , 5:30pm to 6:30pm
Where: 230 Jay Street Community Room
Why: Pre-Season Planning, Volunteer Recruiting
Please consider joining the garden committee this year!
Do you have one hour a week to help build a greener community and grow culinary herbs? Are you interested in getting involved with garden care? A community garden requires many small, time-sensitive daily tasks such as watering, but there are also jobs you can do when your schedule allows, like prepping natural fungicide spray or taking photos for the blog.
Are you willing and able to help this spring? If you think you might want to get your hands dirty, or are curious about how it works, please stop by. Volunteered in the past? Bring a new neighbor! The garden is a great way to meet others and get to know the CV community. All residents are welcome — no green thumb required.

When: Monday, Presidents’ Day, 6:45 pm to 7:45 pm*
Are you interested in getting involved with CV garden planning and care? Can you step up once or twice a week to do one of many small daily tasks required, such as watering or checking the irrigation timer or inspecting leaves for signs of disease? Or take care of things like prepping treatment spray bottles when your schedule allows. We need you too!
We’re hosting a causal garden committee meeting on Monday Feb 20th, from 6:45pm to 7:45pm in the community room. We will chat about hopes for the upcoming season and see how many volunteers are willing and able to help.
Wine will be served!

If you’ve volunteered in the past, come and bring a curious neighbor! The garden is a great way to meet your CV neighbors and get to know the community. All residents are welcome — no green thumbs are required.
As in previous years, we hope to hold a seed-starting workshop, snap pea planting activities, flower transplanting, worm hunting, butterfly conservation and more — but we cannot do these things without community participation and volunteer energy.
The goal of the get together is to see who can help this spring, and what our top priorities are.
Tell us at the meeting or send an email message to cvearthlab@gmail.com
*We hope to hold an additional early evening mixer later this month for others who cannot attend, looking at Tues Feb 28 @545pm. Thx!
All Residents Are Invited to Participate in the CVEarthlab Community Garden
Located behind 195 Adams Street, inside the children’s playarea, CVEarthlab is a self-funded, community vegetable garden open to all residents of Concord Village. We welcome all ages and all experience levels. Residents with or without small children can take part. Over the years we’ve found that the more people who participate, the easier and more fun it is. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Join us Monday night for a mixer – a casual garden committee get together.

Are you interested in getting involved with CV garden planning and care? Maybe you are more of a worker bee, who can step up once or twice a week to do one of many small daily tasks required, such as watering or checking the irrigation timer or inspecting leaves for signs of disease? Or an independent sort who wants to take care of things like prepping treatment spray bottles when your schedule allows. We need you too!

Unfortunately many of the raised beds, including the popular herb bed outside the fence, were contaminated by rodents. Before we plant anything, we have to empty and remove the contents, clean the beds, treat them with bleach, and replace the organic soil. There will be more pre-season grunt work than usual.
*We hope to hold an additional early evening mixer later this month for others who cannot attend, esp parents of young children who may be occupied with bedtime routines.
