Belated Thank You and WOW!

Have you see the amazing accomplishments from the work party on Sunday? The garden is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you to everyone who participated. Such a short amount of time and a complete transformation. The garden really shines! I'll attach pictures later today.

Tomorrow is the day!

Just a reminder that our Work Pizza Party is tomorrow!

Ice Cream flavors are: Strawberry (Organic) , Blueberry (Grisamore Farms) and Vanilla .

Rain Day?

I was just checking out the weather and Wednesday is listed to have scattered thunderstorms. If it is raining let's have our rain date be the next day- Thursday, August 6th. Sound good?

New Take on the Work Party- Wed. Aug. 5th!

Well, after much feedback about busy summer weekends, we are going to try something different. We are going to do an evening work party. Here are the details:

Work in the Garden Party!

When: Wednesday, August 5th
Where: At the kid's garden
Time: 4pm-7pm

Scope: Just the paths, Ma'am- We are going to weed around the beds, lay down cardboard, and haul and rake wood chips into place. The kids will finish making their garden signs and help with the gardening.

Food: I'll be bringing Homemade Pizzas and Homemade Ice Cream. If you want to bring sides or snackies that will be great!

Bring: Rakes and Shovel and Wheelbarrows, oh my.

We are hoping if we bite off the garden projects in small chunks we'll be able to make it easier for everyone to help.

Please let me know that you are coming via email elliottostdiek@fltg.net

Thanks!
Rebecca

New Date For Work Party-Stay Tuned

Hi Guys,

There was a scheduling conflict for this Sunday so we are looking at new dates in the next couple of weeks. We were thinking about doing 2-6 instead of 9-3 and Saturday instead of Sunday. What's your thoughts on this? Feedback? Also, we have decided to do an end run around the weeds. If anyone can just weed a few inches around the beds we are going to put cardboard down then mulch with wood chips. That should teach those weeds who is boss! Anyone have a wood chip connection?
So stay tuned for new party date-same bat time, same bat channel.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hello, Help!, Yay!, Thanks and Stay tuned....

Hi Everyone,
Last week it seemed like every time I thought about going out, it rained! Well, it’s a new week and all that rain made the weeds in our children’s garden reach horror movie heights. I’ve dug out the middle and a chunk more but I am off to Nebraska for Dan’s parents 50th wedding anniversary celeb. So I am asking each of you to find 30 minutes, yes just 30 minutes, in the next week to weed the paths. I would love if everyone can bring their kids to work on their garden together. Anyone who wants to can post pictures on the Garden Blog of your brave foray into the garden jungle!
(Might I suggest turning over the area you want to do first. It’s much easier. There is one adult shovel there. Lots of kids tools. )

Many, Many thanks to Jackie Treml and all of you for the magnificent wrap-it fundraiser! Over $700 was raised! Also, thank you to everyone who made it to our special viewing of Pixar’s UP! At the Watkins Glen theater. We raised $220 that day. Between both fundraisers we now have enough for the fencing! Thank you all!

So, next big bang work party! There will be grilling, music, building projects and gardening! Save this date- July 27th Sunday.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Want to play in the garden?

If you have a spare minute or 30, the garden paths need to be weeded. With all the rain they are getting quite lush but will also be easy to pull as a result. Also, we are collecting mulch for filling in the paths at upcoming July work party. Details to follow. Thanks! Hope to see you at the garden!
