GARDEN COLLECTIVE BERRY PATCH WORK BEE

posted 15 Jun 2016, 21:43 by David Taylor

We had a grand time at the berry patch last week. Over a dozen people showed up to weed, eat ice cream and fresh berries. A big thank you to those people. The plants are in great shape now. We'll do another weeding and berry eating session in July. But feel free to stop in any time and pull a few weeds.

Hosted by ITI's Lone Sorensen and the Community Garden Collective this was a free lunchtime session. This was the latest in a series of noon-hour brown bag lunches in the park.  Look for updates throughout the spring and summer if you'd like to hang-out at the park and talk all things garden.
