Aptos Community Garden continues to thrive …

Garden plots that we know are currently available have a small “red flag” on them. Other plots may come available in the not too distant future.

Take a look around and you will find application forms and other information.

Know about  the game Pokemon Go? You use a ‘smart phone’ with GPS and  camera and play the  game wherein you ‘catch’ imaginary creatures. How to start?  Download the app and go for it.  The ‘rules’ are elusive.  It’s fun.

Aptos Community Garden is a beautiful spot to play Pokemon to your heart’s content. Catch those critters!  Aptos Community Garden is a “gym” requiring “Level 5 status”.

Take a look at current photos of the garden on Twitter. Go Twitter, put a # followed by aptoscommunitygarden

Interested in gardening with others the organic way? Call 831 688-5727 ex 2 and leave your name and number.

When you have a plot and have to go out of town? — or you are sick? — or for some reason you cannot pick your lovely produce? — please call 831 688 5727 ex 2 and leave a message.

Someone will keep an eye on your plot and make sure that your vegetables are enjoyed by someone in need and do not go to waste.

Come and enjoy Aptos Community Garden. http://www.aptoscommunitygarden.info Garden the organic way. Take a stroll. Have a sandwich.  Something to do with your kids and grand kids:   play the  game Pokemon Go.

Sept. 21, 2016:      1)    a picnic table  to the right of the main entrance area is  coming soon;  2)  bids from two gopher removal services will  be obtained in order to reduce gopher population using traps.

September, 25, 2016:    Water stays on and people  can turn their water off as they choose.   Later on, when  it’s  quite wet and rainy then the water will be turned off — with notice given to everyone before  that happens.  

October 2, 2016 update:  Enjoy the picnic table put together by church volunteers.  Tomatoes look beautiful!
