2 GREETINGS Greetings All, from the Tollgate Farm Manager Roy Prentice Maple Syrup Making Although I was afraid that the 2014 maple syrup season would be a total unmitigated bust, favorable weather in late March and early April really pulled us through. Lead by many hard working individuals, the season was a success. Although the season started late and lots of snow made work in the woods difficult at times, we ended up making over 93 gallons of syrup. The maple crew worked very hard this year maintaining and improving the tubing system that connects over 250 trees. We saw lots of drop by visitors during the season and had many organized tours of kid groups of various stripes. The season provided us with enough syrup to provide for our pancake brunch on April 26th and to give and sell to our many wonderful volunteers. In terms of production, this year turned out to be a bit better than average. Sap flow is always subject to the vagaries of the weather, that s farming! We Need Volunteers As the snows of the historic winter of 2014 release their icy grip on the land, the Tollgate volunteers have already had several workdays where we sallied to the gardens to prepare for the coming growing season. Each year the gardens get better. Each year we have more visitors that come to Tollgate to enjoy the fruits of our work. Please help us make Tollgate reach its fullest potential. We still need a few area garden leaders to look after gardens on the farm. Please plan to attend our activity days. Without your help, Tollgate would be just another farm. With your help, we will continue to work toward a high level of true awesomeness. Thanks for all that you do to make Tollgate such a special place!

3 Notes from the President I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order -- John Burroughs Let spring begin! The gardening and growing season is off to a slow start with the prolonged snow cover and cold. The Tollgate Gardeners are ready and have started the season with a couple of cool work days. Pruning, grass cut back and pond clean-up was started with some other areas (not under snow) getting a little early attention as well. We have high hopes for warmer temps for April! See the posted activities in this issue. Clean-up days and orientation of new volunteers will be big days for our maintenance schedule and chance to make new garden friends. With the slower start to the season we will need our experienced gardeners, who know where their plants that require division are in the garden, to make early divisions for the plant sale. Dividing a little earlier will help get those divisions potted so they are healthy looking by the plant sale date. Your contribution of non-invasive plants for the Plant Sale this spring will help us with this major fund raiser. Pots, in one and two gallon sizes are needed, please no other sizes at this time since smaller ones are quickly overgrown and larger ones, hanging basket pots, clay and decorative pots are NOT appropriate for our intended use (consider recycling!). Our early season efforts will be for division, potting of donated plants for a successful sale. There are still many gardens in need of Garden Team members for organization of maintenance activities in specific gardens. Ask me or any TGAC member for ways you can contribute. That s all for now. Happy Spring! Thank you for being a Tollgate Garden Volunteer. Renee Cottrell, President Photos by Renee Cottrell Page 3
4 Fall Fair Submitted by Dennis Roggers It was great to see how excited the Fall Fair Committee was just to meet this month. Fresh from the long winters break, we are eager to get started again. The craft committee will be meeting later in the year and I will let you know when that is in the months ahead. It looks like we will be keeping most of the activities with a few improvements and a few new things as well. We are always looking for new crafts, activities, entertainment, and revenue. So, if you have any ideas or suggestions please call or me or get in touch with another member of the committee and we will toss it up at the next meeting. We had great success with the can drive last year ($203.10) and we would like to try it again. There is a box on the floor by the fridge in the Volunteer Communication Center that you can drop off your Returnable bottles and cans. Many small changes are in the works for this year s Fair, and I think you will be happy with all of them. From the parking lot, to the hospitality area, changes are in the works but your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Please note that our committee meeting day has changed to the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM in Roy s office, all are welcome and we hope to see you there. You can reach me at fallfair@sup-mac.com. Dennis The Tollgate quilt is back from the quilter, Pam Heldt. The Quilting Bees will be sewing on the binding and the quilt will be ready to show off. Each year an exquisite quilt is crafted by Tollgate s own Quilting Bees. The money raised is used to support the lush Tollgate Gardens. Approximate Size: 71" x 71" Raffle Date: Saturday, July 19th at the close of the Tollgate Summer Open House, Art in the Gardens. Tickets: $2.00 each or (3) for $5.00 TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE APRIL TGV GENERAL MEETING Fall Fair 2013 Page 4
