Thank you to our awesome volunteers for spending their afternoon cleaning up and planting the Park City Hospital Gardens! Lots of weeding was done, some baby rabbits were found, and berries were planted 🌱🌿 If you would like to get involved, we have volunteer work parties every Sunday (weather dependent) at the Summit Community Gardens off of Old Ranch Road!

The sun was shining and our enthusiasm was high to get into our gardens and plant our seedlings. This morning looking at the 10 day forecast we are in for some stormy days, low temps and possibly even some spring snow. Give your seedlings a little protection over the next week by covering them with a frost cloth when the temperature dips below 32F Degrees. Here are some snapshots on how to appropriately cover. There is a longer video posted on our Facebook page. If you are using the lightweight agribon row cover, the heavier frost cloth can easily lay over the top. Colie will be at the gardens today between 12:30-2pm if you’d like to purchase a last minute frost cloth to cover your seedlings evening, or our partners @parkcitynursery also have frost cloth available for purchase! Thanks Summit Community! #highaltitudegardening #summitcommunitygardens #gardeninginthemountains #parkcity #springinthemountains #highaltitudemountaindesert #frostcloth #rowcover

Happy to see our community gardeners gradually getting back to the gardens as our temperatures are warming up. The best way to grow healthy plants is to have healthy soil, and great compost is the secret to healthy soil. Please help yourselves to our ‘black gold’ as you are getting your beds ready for planting.
1) short video on how to collect the finished compost
2) black gold!
3) when you find micro trash in your siftings, please dispose of accordingly: rocks and large pieces of wood can get tossed aside, coarse material can get returned to the pile, trash goes to the bin.
Enjoy!
*We don’t have our green waste collection station set up yet so any weeds you pull from your beds can be collected in the black wheelbarrow on the side. Coming soon!

Volunteer spotlight:
Jamie and Dean are two of our very hardworking volunteers this season, working towards completion of their 40 hours of service required to receive the #utahmastergardener certification. Here they are chipping up all of the woody debris from last season which can then be added as mulch to our paths and beds. The hard work and dedication of our volunteers really does make us feel like we are part of a community that loves to ‘give back’, and what keeps us staff feeling motivated too!
Thank you 🌱💚
We welcome all to join our weekly volunteer work days at the gardens Sundays 10-2, and have many other projects during the season too. Please feel free to dm me with any questions regarding volunteer opportunities for individuals and/ or for groups.
