  Welcome 2025 gardeners! 

  We hope you're as excited as we are for this new growing season 

  This year we will be replacing the fence and expanding a bit to the North, with plans to replace the wooden beds with metal ones potentially in the fall. 

  • Please fill out all 2025 Community Registration information, make sure to include your best phone number and email to send community garden information and updates! 
  • If you had 2 plots in 2024 - you are cleared to again have 2 plots this year
  • "Sweat equity" has been officially raised to 6 hours per plot/per season (most were above that already last year) 
  • If you are sharing a plot with another garden club member, please include the other gardener's name in your registration. 

  **Please be sure to download, save, or print the Community Gardener's Agreement (Member Application and Release of All Claims Form) that you will digitally agree to within your registration. It will be a great reference to look over throughout the growing season. 

  If you have any questions, please reach out to your Community Garden Coordinators Madison & Kelli (contact info below)

  Mansion Hill Garden Reveal

  Please gather at 6:30pm at 3rd St & Park Ave to view this beautifully renovated garden space and enjoy a Q&A session with Bill Ripley of Stride Studio, who developed the renovation design. We also want to thank Mary Gruber and Julie Saunders who executed the plan with the help of City of Newport Public Works and many ERGC members.

  After viewing the Mansion Hill Garden the group will reconvene at St John's Church for the regular meeting.  

  This month, our monthly meeting will be focused on ensuring we are all prepared for the Garden Walk scheduled for June 7th and 8th.  As a result, there will not be a speaker scheduled.  However, we will have a Plant Swap!

  As you are working on your gardens over the next couple of weeks, set aside any "extra" plants you may be thinning out, you no longer want, or that are getting too large and need to be split. Other members may love to have them!  And you may be able to get some plants from another member that would work for you!
  
  HOW IT WORKS:
  

  • Please bring your thinned out plants in individual containers. Butter tubs or old plastic containers or whatever you have. 
  • Each container ought to have the name of the plant labeled on it in pen. (we will have post-it notes and pens available)
  • If you know, you may also bring basic directions for just how to care for the plant.
  • We will collect and display the plants in the meeting room at St. Johns.  Please bring them in clean boxes or bags.

  • We will provide one "ticket" for each and every plant you bring. For instance, bring 10 plants to give away, obtain 10 tickets.
    

  • After the meeting we will have social time and you can use your ticket to select any other plants you may want for your garden. 
  • If you don't have a need for more plants, you can donate your ticket to the pool so that someone else who may not have a plant to share and needs some, can use your ticket. 
    

  At the end of the event, the goal is to provide new plants to gardeners to appreciate in their own gardens, as well as to have gotten rid of old ones they no longer need.
