of Nassau County will be opening up to Nassau residents community garden beds at 832 Merrick Avenue in East Meadow.

Each garden bed is 5' by 20'. The application to apply for use of a garden bed will be available on line on April 23 at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau website or at CCE of Nassau new location: 832 Merrick Avenue, East Meadow beginning April during plant diagnostics and soil pH testing operating hours, which will be on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m..
Application and payment are due on May 4. On May 7, a lottery will be held to assign the garden beds.
On the dryer side, make sure to water your trees deeply, preferable with a soaker hose. It is bone dry and a few hours or short storm is not enough.
Spring is the time trees are growing and must be watered during dry spells, especially newer trees.
