Upcoming Work Party

This Saturday, March 2, is our next work party.  Our main goal will be to move the wood piles into bins that will be provided.  We will also be continuing to move dirt and gravel.

There will be snacks donated by Chaco Canyon Cafe, but you may want to bring your own water and other snacks or lunch items.  Work gloves are a must for moving the lumber and if you want to bring a hammer or crowbar for removing nails that would be great.

Hope to see you there!

Work Party Feb 9

The rain held out and we had a great turnout for our work party on Saturday, 2/9. We had 17 volunteers, including four children. We made great progress! In the south end of the garden, efforts were  focused on salvaging all top soil by moving it from the beds into large mounds. And in the north end, deconstruction efforts continued. The crew here relocated gravel, dismantled beds and removed rebar (which was not easy; thanks, Susan!)

The next work party is scheduled for Saturday, March 2 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Tasks will include moving top soil into piles for later re-use, disassembling any remaining beds and moving gravel in the pathways.

A huge thank you for everyone who came out. We had an impressive turnout and made great progress!

Up Coming Work Party

Next Saturday, February 9th, will be the next work party for the U-Heights P-Patch. Remember to bring work gloves, sturdy shoes for tramping and digging wet soil, refreshments for yourself and/or to share and maybe a Farmer's Market Basket so you can snag some fresh veggies and other Market goodies.
