ORGANIC SATURDAYS = Gilroy Demonstration Garden Organic Farm Stand

Not sure if you've heard of our "ORGANIC SATURDAYS".. but we now feature a GDG Organic Farm Stand on Saturdays between 10am - 1pm. Our Saturdays are full of healthy energy as we have open work days from 10am - 1pm, followed with a delicious potluck lunch in the Garden. Come by anytime.. see you in the garden!

Thanks John for your question regarding buttoning up the garden!
The garden is currently transitioning from summer to winter. We are cleaning out old beds, letting some rest for winter, while planting up others for our new crops. We are preparing the compost pile in preparation for healthy compost in the spring. We are currently harvesting pac choy, herbs, onions, salad mix and kale. Newly planted are; broccoli, swiss chard, onion, garlic, spinach, potato, chinese cabbage, carrots and radishes.
The winter months are a great time to plant up all your green leafy vegetables, don't forget to drink your oj to absorb your iron from these veges, and to help keep the winter colds away!

Our farm stand is still open on Saturday mornings, and our compost class with Master Composter Debbie, will be a great class to participate in. We will meet Saturday Morning, December 11, from 10-12, please let us know if you are able to attend this informative class, please bring your pruners! Debbie will teach us about compost piles as well as sheet composting.
Additionally, if you would like to volunteer, gardening or construction, please contact us at friendsofthegarden@yahoo.com.
