Victory Garden Volunteers

Hello All,
Calling all Green Thumbs!  

As I mentioned in the meeting the other day we are looking for volunteers who can commit to 1-2 hours a week to help out at the Victory Garden.   Tammara has offered to be the “Project Manager” but she needs more help in order to keep the garden going.  She, Rich and Brendon have spent the last four years working almost exclusively by themselves with Tammara doing most of the work.  As we have seen she has done a spectacular job with planting and maintaining the garden.   This year we would like to get a few of us to share this community event with her.  

It is my understanding that the town comes to till the soil,  we would need a couple of planting dates to match the weather and then weeding, watering, picking and delivering the vegetables.  Watering is less when we have rain and weeding is probably more when we have rain!    Generally there are other clubs and people at the garden to keep you company or to share with delivering the veggies.  

Tammara has asked for a minimum of three volunteers.   I will be the first with a commitment of 1-2 hours a week.   Is anyone else interested to participate in maintaining our three rows?  Can you please let either or Tammara know by Friday or we will have to let our rows go.  That is not something we want to do and we can hope we can keep it going.  

Thank you all for your consideration!
