Charles Street Gardens’ Fall Plant Sale is on Saturday, October 3, 2009, from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Come by and get seedlings for your fall/winter garden. Yes, you can grow veggies all winter in the bay area! We will have winter greens, broccoli, cabbage, perennial herbs, and lots of strawberries. Fall is the best time to plant perennials like strawberries. See you there! 433 Charles Street All proceeds benefit Sunnyvale’s non-profit community garden. Charles Street Gardens opened its gates to Sunnyvale on May 29, 2006 and we have been growing ever since thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate this weekend. It was great to celebrate with our founding members and the many new faces who have joined over the years. Here’s to many more years of growing! We are looking for a new volunteer Garden Manager to help lead projects and volunteers at the garden. This is a great way to get to meet and help fellow gardeners while helping to keep our projects and events running. Take a look at the job description below to see if you would be a good match. If you are interested or have any questions, please email Jenny a brief explanation of why you are interested and how you are a good fit for the job. Our 3rd annual Spring Plant Sale fundraiser was a success. We sold a ton of vegetable, herb, and flower seedlings; and gave tours of the gardens in between the 2 transplanting classes that the Master Gardeners taught. We saw old friends and supporters as well as new faces that will hopefully visit the garden again. Thanks to all who helped organize and volunteered during the sale. On Sunday a few of us set up an info booth at the Full Circle Farm Earth Day festival and sold more plants and t-shirts while telling people about our wonderful community garden. The weather was warm, but so were all the smiles and laughter. There was great music, workshops, and people. Thanks again to those who helped out at the farm. A fantastic weekend all around! Our Spring Plant Sale is today! Get to the garden early for best selection. Popular varieties will sell out fast. And don’t forget the free planting classes at 10:30am and 1:00pm. See you there. If you are interested in volunteering at our Earth Day Plant Sale on April 18 please email Jenny. We are looking for people to set up, assist with purchases, and clean up, as well as pass out fliers at the Farmer’s Market. Even if you don’t have time to volunteer, feel free to stop by and buy some plants for your garden. See you this weekend!
We will be offering a variety of vegetable, herb, and perennial flower seedlings for a suggested tax-deductible donation (all proceeds benefit our volunteer-run community garden). All plants are organically raised right here at Charles Street Gardens. We will also be offering tours of the gardens and a free class on transplanting from the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County. Sale Hours: 9:00am – 3:00pm Location: Welcome to our new web site! We are very excited to get this up and running. Please bear with us while we finish adding content to some of the sections. In the mean time your feedback and comments are appreciated. Thank you, |
