Digging in the earth is good for your soul! You can help our community garden project in the following areas:**Daily watering schedule **
(sign up for 1 day a week or month... any little bit helps)
**Weekly weeding schedule **
(if we stay on top of it ... it is an easy task!)
**Provide grass clippings to cover our walkways**
**Provide grass clippings & leaves for our compost bin**
**Help finish the fence**
**Help stain/seal the new fence to keep it in good condition**
**Donate plant starts or seeds throughout the season **
(we will be planting cold weather crops like beans, lettuce, cabbage, etc throughout the summer)
Or, just call or email to see if there is anything else on our to do list. Thank you so much to all our volunteers right now that keep this project fun and exciting.
Happy Growing!!
I saw this paragraph from a piece of Seattle legislation that was referenced on the Year of Plenty blog (http://www.downtoearthnw.com/blogs/year-plenty/); I thought it captured some of the purpose behind our own growing interest and work in this area.
