Garden Workday plus Composting Workshop – Sunday, April 8, 2018 @ 10am – 2pm
Lovely gardeners and neighbors!
We have an amazing opportunity THIS SUNDAY (April 8, 2018) – Park and Rec department is going to be hosting a composting workshop just for us at the garden Sunday at 10 AM. It would be amazing if everyone could make an effort to get over to the garden this Sunday 10 AM for this workshop both so that we can take advantage of our amazing composting opportunities in our garden but also so that we can have a show of support for the garden workday which is the same day!
The garden is really looking beautiful yet overgrown thanks to a rainy second half of the winter and it would be amazing to have both the common areas and our personal plots Looking beautiful.
All are welcome – you do not have to have a official pot in the garden in order to help beautify this gorgeous community space. Just show up!

Miller Dogpatch Garden in the New York Times!
Our secret corner of San Francisco was “discovered” by an intrepid New York Times reporter. Back in 2011. This place has a long history as evidenced by the old sign that is now out for restoration.
Here is the article on the garden appearing in the New York Times.

Eat a Feijoa!!!
Ever wondered what these delightful flowers were going to do aside from make some very happy bees?
They were going to make Feijoas or what some may also refer to as Pineapple Guavas. They are dropping at an alarming rate in the garden RIGHT NOW due to their delicious ripeness so cut one in half and scoop out the insides – they are VERY hard to find in this country.
If you find too many ripe ones throw them in a blender with a banana, some mango, OJ and viola! You have a Feijoa smoothie! Enjoy!
