If you're anxious to get outside in the garden, but the temperatures are still too cold, why not go ahead and start seeds indoors?

A million thanks to our volunteer presenter, Shamma from SOS for your Soil, who answered our questions, gifted us with inspiration for the end of this season, and got everyone excited for early 2023 gardening!

As requested, we asked for digital copies of her presentation notes and uploaded them to a public Google Drive for all to enjoy:

This Saturday, 6/4, from 8:00-10:00am, the garden will host a volunteer work session to further beautify this parkland. Volunteers will:

- Mount a brilliant decorative garden mural created and donated by Stony Brook University student Erica L.
- Install a series of mailboxes, generously donated by Alex and Jeff C., to be used as tool storage, a shared seed library, and more
- Construct a new gate for more convenient garden entry and security
- Attach cross-braces to stabilize garden fence posts

Volunteers will also generally tidy the garden space and enjoy a lovely morning together. We hope you'll be there to share in it all!
