Brooklyn Community Garden

Brooklyn Community Garden Group Work Session
Let's Move Those Chips!
Let's Pull Out Those Weeds!
And Let's Do It Together!
You're invited to come to Brooklyn Community Garden this Saturday, October 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a group work session. We need to move the pile of chips out of the street, and there is plenty of w**ding needed on the access slope and throughout the garden. Whether you're a plot holder or not you are welcome to join in and help get the garden into shape.

Note to BCG Plot Holders
At yesterday's Quarterly Meeting it was decided that each plot holder's annual commitment of 10 hours of volunteer time be divided into quarterly amounts. This comes to a little more than 3 hours every 3 months for each of you to devote to community projects for the garden. Of course the hours for this Saturday's work session will count toward your overall volunteer hour commitment. We encourage you to give an hour or two of your time to help out If you can not make Saturday's group session you are encouraged to work on these projects on your own time.

Remember: This is the last scheduled day for plot renewals. Stop by the garden 6-7 tonight to speak with Lee, pay your plot fees and review rules and procedures.

One more group of young people from LAST (Learning And Serving Together) will be volunteering at the garden on Thursday, August 22 from 9 to 2. These teens travel to Portland from other towns to work with various non-profit organizations. This group requested a project at a community garden, and BCG will be the recipient of their hard work. The past 3 LAST groups were fun and inspiring. All volunteers are welcome at this work session. Join us if you can.
