RCG January 2023 Newsletter

Wishing you a happy new year!

Ridgecrest Community Garden and Herbal Zen Garden have completed their seasonal change and now sit in anticipation of starting the spring planting in February.  Herbal Zen Garden irrigation is now complete and ready for warmer weather to start.  The recent rain was an unexpected blessing that will start the seeds germinating as soon as warmer weather ensues. 

As in our private lives, the new year is also a time for our garden team to have goals.  Goals such as meeting more of the community, providing more educational opportunities and more outreach events.  Subscriber beds will start anew this spring, so we welcome the opportunity to welcome new subscribers and sponsored participants soon.  More information on subscriber beds is available at this link https://www.holisticdivineinnovations.org/subscriber-program.

Tip Top Arborists continues to sponsor the Ridgecrest Community Garden with woodchip drop-offs.  To assist us with raising money to pay our garden expenses, we are offering woodchips for a donation of any amount of $5 or more.  You can receive your woodchips by following the simple steps below.

•Donate desired amount through Holistic Divine Innovations at this link https://www.holisticdivineinnovations.org/donations or scan one of the QR codes to support

•Send Ridgecrest Community Garden a message on Facebook to designate how many bags are needed. Community member will then be given instructions and address for pickup in the response. Woodchips are at a separate location from the garden due to space limitations.

If you are interested in an entire truck drop off from Tip Top Arborists, feel free to contact them directly at their phone number in Lancaster to request a drop off be made directly to you.

If you are interested in contributing or volunteer opportunities, you can email us at communitygarden.ridgecrest@gmail.com.  If you are a subscriber and would like to see your bed featured in a future newsletter, along with an interview on your “why” for gardening, please send a message via Facebook messenger to Ridgecrest Community Garden.

Zen out, Ridgecrest 😊 We look forward to seeing you in the new year!
