Spring plans

Preparations have begun for the upcoming gardening season.  At the last meeting we decided to go light on planting since we are still working on a water system.  A student from IRE is leading a team to design us a system.  Also a student from the welding program is designing us some furniture.  It is very exciting to have student involvement.  This spring, the goals are to add a few raised beds, finish the trail, start some plants, get furniture, and plant some trees.  We are planning a work day as soon as the frost is out of the ground.  We are hoping for a crew of volunteers.  We will have a sign up sheet with specific jobs to make the day as efficient as possible.  Starting plants from seed will begin in March. We will be presenting at Earthfest in April.
