Work Party... with sun?

Well, sunny is what they're predicting.  Good weather for a work-party, which we shall have between 10am and 2 pm, Sunday, March 24.  Bring work-gloves and any food and beverages that you wish.  We will be cutting out a boxwood hedge, hauling organic debris and ripping out the last of the garden bed frames.  Also, someone interested in making maps can work on tracing our water system.

Further good news, UHCC has signed the grant contract with the Dept of Neighborhoods, so work can be done on the overall outside renovation. The volunteer hours we put in go toward getting the matching funds from the grant.

Another planning meeting is coming soon - and if you've been wanting to be a work party leader there will be a chance to jump on the band-wagon as we plan our spring work parties.  Keep an eye on our calendar!

Changing Gears

Everybody has done so much good work in the garden that we have canceled the work party this Sat. We just don't have enough deconstruction work left before we reassess and turn toward planning the rebuilding. There will be a weeknight meeting coming up soon where we will be presenting design ideas, gathering gardener feedback and making some decisions about the rebuild. Keep an eye open for that - it will be on the calendar and posted here as soon as we have a date.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Work Party: Moving Mountians of Wood!

We had a great turn out today - around 20 people showed up.  We zipped through the piles of wood, loading it all into the giant construction dumpster in about two hours.  We then turned to shoveling topsoil and moving gravel. The weather was lovely - near 60 degrees and only at the end did we get a spat of rain.

We are coming to the end of the deconstruction phase - keep your eyes open for meetings coming up to talk about reconstruction and design ideas. Our calender will have them as soon as we find dates and we'll also post them on the site. In the meantime, we have two more work parties scheduled in March, so if you couldn't join us today we hope to see you next time.
