An important message from the Board of the Mukilteo Community Garden

The Mukilteo Community Garden(MCG) will follow all Department of Health Guidelines. A conversation with a Food Bank representative confirms – they are looking forward to our produce, and they continue to need it more than ever. And we believe the Garden will be an important place for you to have serenity and a safe place to get outside and get some fresh air. But we are primarily concerned for personal safety. If you are comfortable being in the Garden, we want you to continue using it and to help us continue to raise crops for the Food Banks.

Meeting our mandate to feed the community

The food bank has informed us that the needs of their clients is going to be greater than ever and our giving bed produce is going to play a vital role in people’s lives.

Your 10-hour commitment to work in 2022 supporting the giving beds and common area will be critical, but we are giving you the flexibility you need to fulfill your commitment. Formal work parties will be held. However, gardeners can work whenever it is safe and convenient for you, both on your own beds and on the Food Bank beds.

The important tasks for volunteers will be shared weekly.

Getting the most out of your garden bed and experience

MCG Board members will be available for consultation, either via phone or in person. If you’ve got a question about your own crops, or you don’t feel confident to work on a task for the Food Bank beds without some guidance, get in touch with us at the email or phone number below. We’ll get back to you and arrange to provide help as it works best for you.

Staying connected because We are a Community

One of the benefits of gardening at MCG is the ability to socialize with and learn from fellow bed renters. We’ve got Facebook and Instagram accounts which would be a great way to communicate with other gardeners.
