Community Garden Work Party THIS SUNDAY

Dear friends,
If you're hands are idle this coming Sunday, I have the perfect way to keep you from getting into trouble. Come join me in the Foster Powell neighborhood to help build a community garden in a vacant lot (at the intersection of SE 62nd and Powell). It's even free! You will not be charged to shovel dirt, cut grass or remove blackberries and grass! You can come for any length of time you wish, even just to stop in and give moral support (or cookies). If you plan to stay, bring gloves and tools.
Read more about the project at the website: www.62ndgarden.wordpress.com. See you there!
