We're going to "play in the garden" this Saturday, August 21. Come when you can and stay as long as you can--we'll be starting fairly early in the morning to take advantage of the cool.
So bring along some gardening tools, and if you can, a friend or two to help out, and we'll have some fun tending both the garden and the community!
Here's our To-Do List, courtesy of Peggy:
- Leveling the dirt in the area for the raised planters
- Sawing and hammering the wood together for the planters
- Emptying sandbags into appropriate places
- Weeding, which is a constant
If you would like to swing by and lend a hand at any other time of the week, give Peggy an e-mail or a call, and she'll work it out. We never turn down willing worker bees in our garden!
Happy Gardening, All!
The next meeting of the Pine Valley Community Gardens busy-bees is set for Saturday, August 28 at 9:00 AM at the Pine Valley Library.
Miss Peggy asks all current members to download, print, and sign the agreement she e-mailed us on Saturday August 14 and bring it to the August 28 meeting.
If you are new to the group or would like to become involved, see the contact information in the sidebar and drop one of us a line of introduction! We're always eager to have more neighbors joining us in making green things grow--and many other things as well.
The garden is growing well, and we are so excited to see all that is blossoming beautifully as a result: community spirit, good neighborliness, new friendships, stick-to-it-iveness, and even some pretty nice-looking plants!
So please join us on Saturday, August 28 as we plot and plan our future, both near and far, giving thanks for all that is sprouting with new growth in our little neck o' the woods!
Okay, so our garden isn't quite this lush...YET.
But everything is tucked into the earth, ready to start...lushing, greening, and growing and, we hope, producing a small yield before autumn frosts have their sparkling way.
Our next meeting will be this Saturday, August 14 in the Community Room of the Pine Valley Library at 9:00 AM. All interested members of the community are invited to attend.
We'll then adjourn to the garden site and see what's growing and what still may need to be done.
Congratulations to all who have made this little gardening dream a big reality! Yes, it's a little late in the season, but we now have a critter-proof structure that will last for many a season to come!
Good things grow when communities work together. And we're not just talkin' about zucchini....
See you bright 'n' early this Saturday!
