On November 8th (Election Day - a day off for BPS students) from 9am-noon students and their families can come to the garden for community service hours. They will be starting to close the garden for the season. Tasks will include: seed collecting, clearing ground cover in the growing areas, harvesting, pruning, cutting back perennials, digging/transplanting plants, weeding, and uprooting volunteer trees.
NO SKILLS NECESSARY; please bring your own gloves and dress for the weather. No need to sign up - just show up.
Snacks will be provided at the end - using some of the veggies harvested that day. Parents are welcome to contribute extra. They will also give away many small perennials, including: white yarrow, daisies, orange day lilies, and others.
If you have extra seeds, tools or other garden equipment to donate, please bring them with you or let us know about it.
We will also collect BoxTops, mobile e-junk and clear glass bottles for our mosaic project.
Finally, if anyone has a rototiller, that would be very helpful in clearing out Three Sisters Island.
RAIN DATE: Friday, November 11th from 9am-noon.
