In like a Lion


We celebrated the begininng of spring this weekend, by opening up some new beds and planting some cold weather crops and flowers. We had quite a few people pitch in, which made the work get done a lot faster.

There's a lot to report these days. Sunday we had our board elections. The results of the elections are as follows:




President: Karen Buchsbaum
Secretary: Mary Lou Reidy
Treasurer: Eli Roth
Planning Chair: Brad Palmer
Location Chair: Beth Ramacciotti
Legal/Logistics Chair: Debra McKenzie
Education Chair: Marti Grib-Kachman

Congrats to everyone!

We had a brief board meeting following the election. There was a lot to cover! One of the issues we discussed was rain water collection.

The good news is... all of our rainbarrels are full! This is great, because we have enough water to get started with our cold weather crops. However, we are going to need to upgrade our system soon to make sure we're being as efficient as possible with our water collection. We are trying to get some help funding for a 1500 gallon tank. If you know of a potential donor please email frederickgardeners@gmail.com

Happy Spring!
Karen
