1st Workday will be Monday April 4, from 9am-12pm
Work will be beginning clean-up of the gardens which will be mostly raking and sweeping, bringing out some hard scape and watering as needed. On Thursday, April 7, we will remove plants from the front 1/2 circle garden and continue our watering. Work will continue each Mon. & Thurs. morning from 9am-12pm.
Orientation to the gardens for those people newly interested in helping will be on Tuesday, April 12 at 11am. If you are unable to attend contact Loni Shapiro cnslds@q.com to arrange for your orientation.
Our 1st Saturday workday will be on April 16th. We have a group coming (Flagstaff Leadership Program) and will have a variety of activities from digging to clean-up.
In addition, work has begun on the Michael Moore Native Medicinal Garden. The crew is looking for help hauling sandstone with a truck and large tree pots for transplanting some trees and shrubs out of the garden. If you can help, contact laura_s_davis@q.com or nanceigh@hotmaill.com. This needs to be done before 4/16 workday.
Thanks,
Loni Shapiro

The garden crew is active from April-October and sometimes in November weather permitting. Work happens weekly throughout the garden season on Monday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. It also is scheduled for one Saturday a month from April through October. Cancellations due to weather will be posted by 6:00 am of the workday on this blog. You must attend a spring orientation to the garden and Northland Hospice & Palliative Care in order to work. A summary of the work that has been done is included on the blog. Look for weekly postings on this blog during the garden season.
