GARDEN WORK PARTIES!
February through April 2010, we will be doing weekend Garden Work
Parties to help our neighbors start a new garden or get their old
garden ready for Spring. Contact Chris if you want to sign your yard
up for an "Organic Makeover" or if you want to join the parties and
come help! There will be food, fun, and that deep feeling of
satisfaction every time you walk by your neighbor's garden and think "I
helped build that!" Phone 961-9028, or message me.

Fantastic Chris! I would be more than happy to help out at the weekend work parties!
Also, perhaps we can host one of the potlucks in the future if you need a host?
Cheers!

Lia and I took a look at our garden and want to grow more vegetables in the front, so we are looking for some help with making beds in the front.
Digging anyone?

Our first garden work party!! This Saturday, Feb 6th, from 9:30 to 11:00 am at Kirsti Charlton's house: 1410 Grant St. We will be doing a cardboard sheet mulch to compost over her lawn and turn it into a big, beautiful garden space! This will be a very fun transformation to witness, as well as an educational opportunity for anyone who wants to learn about turning lawn into garden in the easiest and most ecological way. Please join us Saturday morning if you are free, and tell other neighbors! Helpers of all ages and experience levels are welcome.
