​Pre-Season Orientation Meeting

The Orientation Meeting held before the Garden open serves as a time to explain garden expectations, collect plot fees, assign plots, and meet other gardeners.  If weather conditions are favorable a tour of the Garden will be offered and Gardeners may start preparing and planting in their plots immediately after the meeting.

Some guests came all the way from China "just to visit!"

​Open House


Our annual Open House provides an opportunity for the public to visit the Community Garden site and meet with the RVACG Board of Directors and Gardeners​.  Notice of the event is placed in The Home News and on our Facebook page.

The public is encouraged and invited to stroll through the Gardens at anytime. 
​

Social Gatherings
A Gardener's Picnic was held in July to give gardeners, volunteers and their families an opportunity to get to know each other.  In 2021 it took the place of the Harvest Potluck.
Fun was had by all.  Around 25 people were in attendance.  The night ended with a beautiful sunset.

Work Days

Work days are held throughout the growing season to maintain common areas.   Scheduled work days are listed on the Gardeners calendar.  In 2022 work days will be scheduled on a more individual work task basis and can be done week day evenings, week days or on an individual basis according to a task list.
Work days are a great opportunity for Gardeners to get to know each other.

 2022 work days to prep the Gardens for the season and for closing are being scheduled.   .
