Mark your calendars! Next Crestwood community garden workday is Monday, July 18 from 5:30-7:30 Our first summer workday was June 20, and we had a small but hard working crew pulling weeds, hilling potatoes, thinning root vegetables, and pulling more weeds. It was especially nice to see Crestwood teachers volunteering their time when they were probably ready to be away from the school for their well-deserved summer recess. If you missed the first workday, don't despair. We have another community workday coming up NEXT MONDAY, JULY 18 FROM 5:30-7:30PM! Bring your own picnic dinner, wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and be prepared to pull weeds! Because we have weeds aplenty. Here's a wheelbarrow full from just an hour's work in the circle garden last week after the storms: You'll notice one big difference at the school. The large ash tree along the sidewalk leading to the east parking lot was a casualty of last week's wild storm. In fact, this section of the property was roped off with caution tape for the last week, making the overflow garden plot by the red wall inaccessible. Cleaning that out is a significant task we'll tackle on Monday along with the main gardens. Maintaining the school gardens over the summer is a big job, but as they say (and as I've said here before), many hands make light work. Hope to see you on Monday!
Cheers, Susan
