Next up...

We had a great workday on Saturday. A big "thank you" to everyone who came and/or contributed! (Click here for photos.)

Here's a lot of important stuff that is coming up. Please bear with the length of the message and read carefully.

NEXT WORKDAY: Sunday, April 15th, 1-3pm
Now that the trash is gone, we can do some more work in our-soon-to-be garden. Possible projects: setting up rainbarrels, building rock (rubble?) borders, laying compost and planting.

NEXT PLANNING MEETING: Wednesday, April 18th, 7-8pm
(Can we make this earlier?)
It would probably be better if we had our next planning meeting a little earlier than originally scheduled. If you are going to attend the meeting, can you make it on 4/11 at the same time? Please let Mary know ASAP.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Many hands make for a successful garden. In other words, we need your help!!!! If you can do any of the following, please contact Mary.

1. Empty Jars & Color Copies. We are putting donation jars at some nearby businesses and need large jars. We also need someone to print out about 6 color copies on regular paper.

2. Yardsale volunteers & organizers. A yardsale/flower sale fundraiser for the garden is being planned for mid-May. More info at planning meeting.

3. Making phone calls. For reminding people without e-mail of workdays, etc.

GARDEN TENDERS Trainings

This month, Philadelphia Green is holding free Garden Tenders trainings for community gardeners. It would be great if a few of us could go to these workshops, which will be held on 4/18, 4/21, 4/25, 5/2, and 5/9. They are very informational, and are great for networking.
