The meeting has been moved back an hour because of Student-led Conferences that will be going until 7 pm that evening. Make sure you tell the school staff that you are coming for the community garden meeting when you come to the school that evening. Hopefully, we will have all the garden plots staked and mapped out so they can be assigned that night.
We will also start a board to coordinate activities, mostly made up of people using the garden. We will also set up a phone tree that the members of the board can use to contact members of the community for upcoming events.
A very generous donor has offered to bring us as much topsoil as we need. More details will be forthcoming.
Finally, we are thinking of beginning classes about basic gardening practices. In fact, we have scheduled two classes, one in Spanish and one in English, for Saturday, April 9 @ 8AM (Spanish) and 10 AM (English). This class will be on Square-Foot Gardening and will be open to the public, so bring your friends and others who may not even be part of Common Ground. What are YOUR thoughts?
