Gearing up for our first Volunteer day!



This was most definitely a "get the gardens" moving weekend. Saturday Larry helped our friends Craig and Angelique from Robert-Superior's community garden take down 2 trees on that lot. (It looks so much better!) Today Larry and Dwayne James are building a backstop for the mulch pile next to the orchard. We still have two trees on the OFW lot that need to come down very soon.

Next Saturday (May 30) is the first volunteer work day. We picked up 350 bricks that will outline the orchard and could use a few folks for that. The city will be chipping the branches Larry took down and our intent is to build a path with the chips back to where the storage shed will soon be. We will also need folks to help clean out the back of the lot by the MSD sewer. This will help get the lot ready for the fence at the back. The 2nd Volunteer day will be June 27th. We hope to be planting the hedge border along Suburban and Mueller during that day.
