Celebration Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the opening celebration on Sunday. It couldn't have gone better -- beautiful weather, music, crafts, and conversation among neighbors. Many new people were introduced to the garden, and it was an awesome opportunity to reflect on all that we've accomplished.

Thank you to Josh Netsky and John Barrington for providing music, the Child Care Counsil for providing a craft table, Mt. Morris Kiwanis for the use of their tent, and Cole Party Rental for the use of their bounce house.

The weather report shows that it'll probably start raining around 3:00pm today.

The 10-day forecast reports that Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be the only sunny days for quite a while.

E-mail Molly (MKerker@dor.org) with your availability, so that we can reschedule our meeting.

Work Sessions

Today was our first work session! Thank you to the gardeners who came out in the chilly weather.

What we accomplished:

1. Prepared the ground for raised beds
2. Set up the raised beds and table-top gardens (thanks to Skeeter from the Arc of Livingston Wyoming)
3. Started to mark out where the in-ground beds will go.

The next work session is this Thursday, May 13th from 6:00-8:00pm.

We will:

1. Finish marking out the beds
2. Put soil in the raised beds

It is supposed to rain on Thursday. If it is raining hard, we will reschedule the meeting for next week.

Check back in for updates, and remember to visit the calender (link below the Community Crops logo at the top of the page).

Tilling and Donations

RV Lawncare was pleased to see that the ground has very few rocks. Moreover, they noticed many worms while digging. Looks good!



In addition, thank you to Town and Country Agway for your donation of deer netting!

We are currently still in need of:

1. 12 fence posts (approximate value: $60)
2. Topsoil for 3 3x10 raised beds (about 1 cubic yard)
3. Pots for the tabletop garden

Unfortunately, we did not get the grant that we applied for. So, we are still working with no budget; we are relying entirely on donations. Any leads? Give Molly at call at (585) 658-4466 x/24.
