SMASH PARTY two on Sat. July 24!

Smash Party--part two! This time, at the garden.

Be a part of our planned mosaic mural by dropping off your unwanted DINNERWARE, CUPS, CERAMICS, MIRRORS, TCHOTCHKES and TILE.

We especially need BRIGHTLY COLORED items.

Every donation is appreciated as it helps offset the cost of installing the mosaic.

Stick around and smash them yourself, or we'd be happy to do the work for you! Light refreshments will be provided.

SMASH PARTY!

"SMASH PARTY"

Sat. May 15
10-NOON
2500 McKean St.

Bring your old plates, mirrors, tiles to smash up for our garden's new mosaic (to be constructed this fall). An easy way to give back to the garden and to release those pent-up frustrations! We are especially in need of brightly colored items, but will take anything you have to offer.

Refreshments will be provided. Questions? Contact Mary at 215-468-2396 or marywb@temple.edu

We did it!

Thanks to all of our volunteers who came out on Saturday! We made quick work of the litter and the "weed trees." The lot looks MUCH better and I'm sure the owners will be pleased with our efforts.

If I can get a photo before too long, I will post here. Otherwise, stop by and take a look if you're nearby.

Our next garden event will be on Sunday, May 2, 11am-1pm, at the GARDEN. Details coming shortly.

Next gardening day--->15th & Passyunk

With the Hicks garden growing so well, we have decided to move our April 10th workday to the vacant lot at 15th and Passyunk. The plan is to clean up the lot as much as possible and plant a few strategically-placed seeds.

Note for the law-abiding: If we are unable to reach the owners, this will be a true guerrilla gardening expedition since we will technically be trespassing. (But, hey, that how we started the Hicks garden, right?)

Rest assured, however, that none of us have gotten arrested yet for picking up litter. In fact, we've been in this lot before. Ted, my grizzled senior-citizen neighbor, hopped the fence along with the rest of us and helped install the beautiful border of sunflowers that you might have noticed last year.

If Ted can do it, so can you! See you on the 10th @ 11am!

Spring is here, a new garden season begins!

There are some exciting things in store for the garden this year, including a new mural that we will be starting to construct in the fall.
