Clayton Community Garden

THANK YOU!! Like I’ve said in many posts, it takes all of us!! The overwhelming positive responses we’ve been getting since Clayton Day has been incredible!! Even though my math was off on the post, we are coming up on 4 years this week! I’ll post a couple of those pics. Everything got a thorough soaking today. We have more pavers to put down. That’s going to be a huge project next week and we could use every hand possible. I’ll keep you posted. There’s lettuce and kale that could be picked. All of the other vegetables are taking off. The flower bed with the new river rock and fresh mulch looks amazing. Still plenty of work to do! As you can see too, there’s still plenty of room for more plants. Most of the local farms are running sales and are giving plants away. Bring them down. The goal is to grow as much as we can. Especially flowers. Let’s load that flower bed up. Thank you to everyone that’s been a part of this, from the beginning. Thank you to everyone that just found us. Thank you to everyone in between. Let’s keep growing and going!!

I know it horrible outside. Looks like the rain is going to hold off. There’s a bit of work, but if enough people show up it can get knocked out pretty quickly. Please, show up tonight. The back gate will be open off East Ave. It’ll make less walking. Thank you for being a part of this community.

Thank you Caite Wolak, you w**d killer! We kicked some ass this morning spreading mulch and placing rocks. Got everything w**d whacked today. Here’s where you all come in!!

Tomorrow night starting at 6, stop in and help get the rest knocked out for Clayton Day. If you can’t make tomorrow night, feel free to stop down there tonight. Need to get the rocks and mulch moved all the way down to the sign. If anyone has a backhoe or big tiller, feel free to take the top layer off around the sign and down the walkway to the mulch. There’s 2 tons of rock there and 8 yds of mulch. Plenty of work to do. Also, the new pallet came to match the other side of the butterfly garden. Those pavers need to be laid.

Thank you and look forward to meeting everyone down at the garden!!

We’re just about 3 years into this garden. I’ve been posting since then. I’ve begged, pleaded, gotten sarcastic and actually sent some nasty posts. It’s a lot of work and not many participating. With almost 1000 followers, I know people are interested. I’m going to beg one more time and I’m going to share this to all of the Clayton pages. Saturday is Clayton Day!

We were going to do a clean up Saturday. Unfortunately, there’s too much set up going on for that to happen. So, PLEASE, show up this Thursday night June 11th 6-dark. We have to make it look good for Clayton Day. We’re getting river rock and mulch delivered Wednesday afternoon. Need to fill up the flower bed from the corner all the way down to the garden sign. Please, show up and help out. The more hands we get the faster it’ll get done. Thank you! Be a part of your Community!!

Plenty of flowers on sale at local farms. Pick your favorites up and plant them in the flower bed. Lots of room still. With more room to come.

Come talk to me and we can give you a sale price

Just some of the marvelous views at the garden today! Butterfly’s and bees all over. Fresh lettuce ready to be picked. Mulch finished on the front side of the garden. Now here is where the community comes in. Mulch needs to be added from the corner down the walkway, in flower bed. Going to have a big work day next Saturday June 13 (CLAYTON DAY) from 9-11 or sooner, depends on participation. But have 8 more yards of mulch to move and a couple of tons of river rock. All hands would be appreciated. Feel free to bring more flowers to plant. We have lots of room. See everyone then!
