Fundraiser and other updates

Major success for both community gardens at last night's fundraiser. Good music, good weather and good friends helped us raise $480! Each of our gardens will put $240 to good use as we continue working on garden infrastructure.

Two recent updates to the garden: The compost bin is almost complete. This was an elaborate design, but we chose to make it a focal point rather than the standard "bin." After all, that's where the "black gold" will be stored!

Also, a big thank you to Dan Flynn, our local plumber who just installed our water line/tap for no charge. The garden has water!! He also installed it in such a way that if we decide to put in an irrigation system down the road, no more digging will have to be done. This means no disruption to future beds!

Next volunteer work day is next Saturday. I'll send out a reminder mid-week. Thanks again for everyone who made the fundraiser such a success!!
