Good Day friends,
Hope your enjoying the rainstorms.
There is a few announcements for this month.
First, We'd like to thank those of you that have been showing
interest and have put your support and backs into the arduous labors
of turning the lot into a healthy place for the garden to thrive in.
This weekend we cleaned up the second flower bed
and plan to add the remainder of the donated soil
(thanks Holly, Wood, and Vine and Gwen)
to the area, so as to begin planting some shade loving plants.
The garden also received a group of tomato,
sunflowers,cucumbers, and beans for the front bed,
so thanks goes out to Radim and Alex for your contribution.
Its come to our attention that a few plants in need of a home
are finding there way to the garden and we'd like to say,
Keep them coming.
Considering the early stage of the garden we welcome any additions,
if you have an unhealthy plant you'd like to donate,
we'll happy to access its condition and if its curable,
find a place for it.
Also for the end of the month we are planning
an Eldert Street Garden fund raising event
at the garden and at Junto Gallery.
