Happy Spring, friends! The Garden is in full swing with spring and summer crops in the ground. We’re moving full steam ahead with building the other half of the garden so we’ll have plenty of room for all varieties of cool and warm season crops.

We’re also very excited about the Grand Opening on May 18th. We have lots of folks coming to see the Garden and learn about all sorts of sustainability issues that day. We really need your help to have the garden looking its best and to make visitors feel welcome on that day. I’m resending the link to the Sign Up Genius again here in hopes that you’ll aspire to be like our young friend Nathan who not only works super hard at the garden, but he also signed up for a bunch of ways to help on May 18! We have 3 Tuesdays and 2 Saturdays left to get things looking their best so please join us if you can. And most importantly, please invite your friends, neighbors and coworkers to the Grand Opening. There’s a bright yellow banner on the webpage with a link to the Grand Opening flyer and an event on the Garden Facebook page that you can share.

We need a volunteer to pick up the produce scraps from Lowes Foods in Apex this coming Saturday morning. If you can help, please contact Debbie Frank at debfrank570@gmail.com.

Hope to see you soon!
