Garden Sign-ups are complete!

Welcome, new Butler Organic Gardeners! We have been able to assign plots to everyone who requested one- please see the updated map, above. You will be receiving an email soon about garden rules, plot fees, posting to the blog, and so on. The returning gardeners voted against having the University come plow this year, so you're welcome to start digging in the dirt as soon as the weather warms up (or even earlier, if you're very hardy).

The last remaining plot, 19b, flooded quite badly last year. We believe the problem with the pump is resolved, but, just in case, we chose to assign it last. If you have any intrepid friends who would like to take a chance on gardening there, let us know. We usually get some late inquiries from new students, so it will probably be taken over at some point.

Watch your inbox for an email from Khirika soon, and, again, welcome!

2012 Garden Sign-up for prospective gardeners

Prospective Butler Organic Gardeners!

New plot sign up will take place on this blog on Friday, 1/20, at 8 am. A blog post with an embedded form will go live at that time.

We will ask for your name, contact information, and plot size and location preference. Plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and we routinely "sell out" of spaces, so set an alarm clock. Gardeners who are not granted a plot will be placed on the waiting list for plots that become available during the season.

Garden dues ($10 for a half plot, $20 for a full plot) will be collected in the next month. This money goes to buy and maintain garden tools and equipment. If you have any questions, please contact one of the garden coordinators.

Garden Sign Ups Are Now Closed

Sign ups for the 2011 season are now closed. If you did not receive a welcome e-mail and do not see your name in a garden plot in the above map, you should find your name in the waiting list on the right. If you did receive a plot, congratulations and welcome to the Butler Gardening Community!

New members should have received an invitation to contribute to this blog. Returning gardeners should still be on the authors list (although we did clean house, so let us know if we accidentally deleted your account). If you're a co-gardener and would like to be able to blog, please email Abigail.
