This Saturday is the big day. We're groundbreaking for our English Meadows Community Garden! We're going to begin with two raised beds, and we'll add more in the coming weeks/months if we need it. Below (and attached) is a schedule of events (and tools needed) for Saturday. As "they" say, "Many hands make light work" so bring your hands (and feet too!). I'd love to have kids join us. If you're not very "skilled", check out the snack times and bring some snacks to feed the grunts (myself included). I'll be giving everyone a call tonight just to remind you. Hope to see you this Saturday!
Peace,
Tom
