We are not going to build the garden this Saturday at 9 AM, but we are going to do some of the preliminary work. Some cleaning, some laying out where the garden will go. Things like that. Once the preliminary’s are done, like the city puts in the waterline, we shall build a fence around the garden and build beds.</div><div><br></div><div>We are going to hold a lottery for garden beds. We shall have 30 beds this year. Hopefully ready to plant by late May. The lottery is ONLY available to those who participate in a work day. People who have done all the leg work ( about 10 people) to bring the project this far, are grandfathered into a bed, but that still leaves a number of beds available for people signing up in person at the work day this Saturday. April 23. If you can not make it Saturday on Short notice, further planning for the next work day is Monday April 25 at 7 PM meet at the park, then we shall go to a house nearby for discussion and planning. </div><div><br></div><div>Greg gerritt garden volunteer. </div></body></html>
