Happy Holidays from Ridgecrest Community Garden.
We have suspended our hours of operation for this winter. We are closed until March 2024, taking this opportunity to redesign the community area of the garden to feature in-ground beds. The last three years gardening in raised beds has allowed the soil below the beds to improve significantly. The improvement occurred through composting of woodchips, plants, and beneficial insects and worms working their way down into the natural soil. Our grow house currently contains seedlings that we will be planting once the redesign is complete. We will have an event in the spring to reveal the new layout, but until then we will be open to subscribers only.
Subscriber beds will remain in their current structure as raised beds A-Z. They will not be part of the redesign. We currently have six subscriber beds available for subscribers to begin gardening in 2024. Additional beds will be available as previous subscriptions expire 1 March, depending on whether current subscriptions are renewed. Our subscriber beds will be $100 per year in 2024. With the subscription the subscriber will receive a 3x6 irrigated bed, with seeds, seedlings and soil provided, along with woodchips. Subscribers will have the responsibility to plant, weed and compost within and around their designated space. Subscribers may plant the seeds and seedlings in the garden or bring in their own plants if there are specific plants that are preferred that are not within the plants provided.

Zen out, Ridgecrest…
