Update for Tomorrow, Saturday May 23 2015 assembly and installation of community bulletin board/sign.

Dear Acadia Community Garden email list:

Update for Tomorrow, Saturday May 23 2015 assembly and installation of community bulletin board/sign.

We have to postpone the installation of the Community Sign and Bulletin Board that was planned for 9 am tomorrow.  It will still happen on a future date, but like the best laid plans, sometimes we have to change them a bit. On the up side, more people can learn about this exciting project and come help or cheer us on when its rescheduled.

We are still planning to have someone from the Acadia Community Garden and Art Society in the Acadia Community Garden site tomorrow at 9 am if you would like to stop by for a visit.  

If you like, you are welcome to join in shovelling some dirt piles around. There is always a bit of work to be done at the garden that is made easier with many hands and its fun to get together in the garden.

We can chat about future plans for the Food Forest, the community u-pick garden beds, dream of compost bins, and check out the area we plan to put a butterfly and bee pollinator garden.  

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to meeting you in the garden.

Sincerely,

Corinne

Its going to be a fun year. We are planning our Stepping Stones Grant project.
