Yuki Trails Garden Project

Volunteers Needed for the Community Garden at Yuki Trails Human Services!

   The Community Garden – Diabetic Garden is without funding this year, so there is no hired garden staff to take care of the day-to-day planting, weeding, watering harvest and distribution. Agreeing that this is a valuable project and resource to the community, Yuki Trails staff and volunteers are creating a new vision to keep a smaller version of the garden going while we search for other funding sources.

   Right now the large north back field is planted in a cover crop which will be plowed under in the next week or two.  Some volunteers have already donated seeds and starts and more are being planted daily.

   The smaller east garden TLC garden area is ready for planting and there are 4 beds available there for community members who would like to make a commitment for their own bed. If there is interest, more individual beds may be opened up in the north garden area.

    We will be having a planning meeting on Friday at 3 PM, starting in the YTHS Community room and wandering out to the gardens as well. If you cannot make the meeting but are still interested in taking some part – large or small – please contact the Yuki Trails front office at 983-6648.

   Any supplies, tools, time, and energy are welcome. A packet of lettuce seeds or a truckload of manure, a summer’s commitment, or an occasional hour or two…it is all useful and welcome!
