This Saturday, we need your help with a big garden project. This project will allow us to create additional garden beds and make ongoing care easier and more sustainable.
Our focus will include laying ground cover throughout the garden, setting up 10 garden beds, mulching around trees, and cleaning and pruning the blackberry bed. We will continue any remaining projects, along with additional tasks such as building new garden beds and a sandbox.
We would be very grateful for any volunteers who are able to join us—even an hour of help makes a big difference.
If you have a shovel or wheelbarrow and don’t mind bringing them, that would also be very helpful. Please bring your own water for hydration.
Thank you for supporting this effort and for helping us care for this space that will be used for learning, growth, and community.
In gratitude,
Marsha Thorpe
