On May 21st's meeting, we had the pleasure of having Sandy and Mike present. Sandy and Mike live in the neighborhood and have taken interest in the creation of Unity Urban Garden. During both meetings we began to really cement into place the construction of the garden.

During the meeting we had on May 21st we discussed different resources to obtain possible wholesale construction materials such as for fencing and the shed. We discussed what type of fence we would like and types of borders. Yes, we have decided to install a very short fence that will still be inviting and pleasing to the eye. The fence will probably be of natural material like wood and be no more than 3' - 4' high.

At the suggestion of Shari' and we all agree, we would like to have at least one raised bed be accessible to persons in a wheelchair. This will be located at the front of the plot, close to the intersecion of Schley and Southern Avenues.

During the meeting we had on May 27th Mike attended and we went even deeper into aspects of construction of the garden. Mike will be leading the construction of the fence and has kindly offered to allow us to use A LOT of his tools, in addition to going on garden shopping trips with us. He really is a delight to have around.

We are still waiting on the city to get free mulch and wood chips. These will be used for walkways and filling in areas.

GOOD NEWS as well! We received a grant from the Waltherson Association and two donations from Kwame El and Adele Linsalata! Thanks a lot to all of you. The money will be spent wisely.
