Welcome to Members

  1. You must have your six (6) Community Service Hours completed by the end of the work party on June 2, 2012 in order to renew your membership.    There are NO Community Service Hours given after the June 2nd work party and you will not be able to renew your membership if you do not have your 6 hours of Community Service.  Please keep your work hour slips that are given at the end of each work party as these are your proof of your work hours.  If you do not have the work hour slips for renewal LBCGA records will be used to determine work hours.  Dates for Remaining Work Party for 2012 are June 2,  2012.  These dates are subject to change so please watch the main information board.  Work Parties start at 7:30 AM for 2 hours with  Monthly Board Meeting at 10:00 AM for which all members are encouaged to attend. Please remember that if you are not working in the work party you can not enter the garden until 9:30 AM on Work Party Days.
  2. Excess Dirt:  Bag it and take it home and/or put in a trash bin. Do Not Put Dirt in the Orchard or in the manure pile.
  3. We have a mouse, rat, rabbit and squirrel problem that will eat your plants and crops so if you wish please set large snap traps in your plot. If you set traps you MUST check them every day. Also helps for you to move your compost bins often as they live under them. Harvest your crop and cut your crop up off the ground will help.  And it also helps to put hoops up and cover with netting, weighing sides down.  Just remember, NO POISON ALLOWED!
  4. Berry bushes are a great attraction for grasshoppers; also corn and sunflowers attract squirrels.
  5. Return wheelbarrows to the corners and turn them up so water do not collect in then and rust the bottoms out.    Please do not leave them in your plot or at trash bin full.  The large wood carts are for chips and garden trash only, NEVER for manure.
  6. Two wholesale nurseries in Long Beach area, Certified Plant Growers, 10524 E. Firstone Blvd, Norwalk and United Growers, 3698 Caspian Ave, Long Beach.  Both have very good plants at good prices.
