What's Spooky is how close we are to accomplishing a complete overhaul of this fabulous community garden!

The weather should be good this Sunday, so bring your work-gloves and get some exercise. 

We will be moving soil into the raised beds, finishing the irrigation system and building the last two beds.  Come on by, 12-4 this Sunday if you can.  

Bring friends and family... the more the merrier!

What better way to enjoy this gorgeous fall weather than to join folks for a work-party this Sunday, October 13th from 12-4 PM. 

This is a great way to enjoy the crisp air, get some exercise, and build community!  

We plan to complete work on our irrigation system and move soil into our raised beds. 

 We will have tools, but please bring work gloves and any friends or family that are interested.

Hope to see everyone there!

Building Beds!

It has been quite awhile coming, but be are finally ready to start construction of the U-Heights P-Patch garden beds!

Our next work-party is Sunday, June 23rd, 10:00 am - 3pm.

We will be working in teams to construct raised bed frames.  We will provide tools, but you should bring your own work-gloves, if you have them.

Once the beds are constructed, we will need volunteers to do shovel and wheel barrow work to fill up the beds with soil.  That's something you can do on your own schedule - but remember to keep track of your hours!

Work Party Posponed

We have postpone the work-party scheduled for this Sunday, May 5th.  UHCC has decided to have the site re-graded to provide a better surface for our gardens. 

Unfortunately, this will delay when we can build the new beds and of course when we can start planting. 

We will send out send out a notice as soon as the site is ready and we know when the lumber for the raised beds will be delivered.

Check back soon for more developments...
