Happy New Year to all!
Though the Gardening Committee has been hibernating since December during a most mild winter, it is time once again to get ready to join us once again starting Sat., March 5th. We will meet once a month to weed and do any necessary pruning.
Our garden was installed by our Salmon Bay parents 9 years ago. The vision was to have the front of the school be an educational garden. A place for teachers bring the kids outside on the bench and learn. The school district does have gardeners that come out and mow the lawn and pruning around the building, but as a parent group our committment to having a learning garden was to have school involvement in maintaining that dream, with our kids as well.
I feel compelled to keep our committee going, if we want a project then our work parties are great times to talk about ideas and work together. Right now our funds are very little. So, if we do have projects or plants you would like to see in our garden, then we need to talk about fundraising. As for now, the schools focus is on our playground and I see our committee as a benefit and see us as a helping hand for that committee when the time comes. So keep that in mind.
So folks mark down Saturday, March 5th, from 10-1. See what we do, feel free to stop by for a little bit or the whole time, it really go by fast and our group of people are fun!
Look for our woodchip pile to be replenished as well! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks! We may be spreading those if they arrive before the 5th!
That is the Gardening update for now, stay tuned for April, May and June work parties. Any questions, you can reach me by email. Want to join? Just meet us on the 5th. Don't have "skills"? Don't worry, if you want to learn, this is the place! Ask questions. It really is great to work in the dirt and in the fresh air.
So look for me in the green hat, on Sat. March 5th! So eager to tidy up the winter mess!
Cheers~
