Have you seen your community garden lately?

Have you seen your Foothills Learning Garden lately? Last weekend we built raised beds of varying heights around the entire perimeter of the garden! Thanks to the many volunteers who came out to help. The garden looks great and now those beds are ready to be filled with soil. Join us this Saturday, May 3rd from 9am-12 noon to fill those new beds. Bring your gloves and, if you have them, a wheelbarrow and shovel marked with your name. Even if you can't come, we'd love to borrow your wheelbarrow and shovel! Mark them with your name, drop them off at the garden, and we'll put them to work.

Also, we've still got two garden beds available for this summer! Let us know if you're interested in renting one. You can find a link to the lease in the sidebar on the right side of the blog.

We're building the perimeter!

Set aside your next two Saturdays to help us build the perimeter garden beds! We will be working this Saturday, April 26th and the following Saturday, May 3rd. For more information and to RSVP, please click here. Feel free to drop in at any point, and no construction experience is necessary!

We are still looking for additional 4x4 posts from downed fences to put in the corners of the new beds. If you or a neighbor has some available, please drop them off at the garden between now and the morning of the 26th.

In addition, we're looking for some wooden picnic tables to add to our garden – as you can imagine, dragging portable tables to the garden for every event is getting tiring! If you've got an old picnic table you're ready to retire, consider donating it to the garden.
