Where: The usual meeting place (email ALEmslie@yahoo.com if you need the address/directions)
What to Bring:
We will be clearing garden plot(s) and planting seeds.
This is definitely a "become one with the soil" kind of activity so I strongly recommend bringing a change of clothes(towels?) and some insect repellent. (I'll provide the hose to spray 'em down after, lol)
Plan to remain outdoors for the duration of the meeting, water bottles and sunblock are encouraged.
Bring any gardening tools you think may be useful for your kids and/or to share. I purchased about 14 seed packets today which should get us started. If you'd like to bring some to contribute you are more than welcome. I'll have a donation jar set up inside if anyone wants to help cover the cost of seeds (totally voluntary, no pressure). This is what I picked up mostly based on season/availability....
They are all Seed of Change Organic seeds...
2x Genovese Basil
2x Dill
2x Cherry Radish
2x Colorful Beet Mix
2x Tyee F1 Spinach
2x Simpson Lettuce
2x Fordhook Chard
I was told the soil in the existing beds is pretty well prepared already, but obviously won't know for sure till we get down to clearing it out. If anyone would like to bring compost/topsoil it couldn't hurt (anything not used in the beds can be set aside for containers at a future meeting).
