Update June 23, 2009




Last week we received new plants donated by a landscaper and generous neighbors, these included bushes, tomatoes, herbs and other goodies. This week our children's garden was planted with annuals. Thank you to all our generous friends.

We have a new sign too - Grassroots Garden has donated a sign - those wonderful folks are responsible to networking the gardens together and helping us get off on the right foot with soil and our first plants and lots of technical assistance.

We've been networking - I was at the Grassroots garden BBQ aka Weenie Wednesday - last week, where there was far more to eat than just Hotdogs. The food was generously donated by members of the Fargo Estates Neighborhood Association. The turn out was great despite the rain... I learned how we can get a formal sign made for the garden - get those name ideas into us so we can put up our sign.

We hace been price shopping - volunteers have been helping on the phones, looking for more plants. In fact, the next work day will be Saturday morning from 9AM to Noon. Bring your trowels, we will planting!

Mark your Calendars! We will be partnering with the Prospect Vermont Block Club to hold a Block Club & Garden BBQ on July 21st starting at 6:30PM at the Garden. Hot Dogs, Salads and deserts. Hope you can make it!

This week we're looking for more plants, and Mulch - wood chips would be great to spread for a walking path.

Have a Good week and thanks for checking in!
