Hello Friends of UUG!

Unity Urban Garden is getting in gear this 2012 season with new zeal.  We will gather Tuesday May 1,  5:30-7:30pm  for our first garden day. See below what we have in store for this year:

Regular GARDEN DAYS will be TUESDAYS 5:30-7:30pm  and SATURDAYS: 10-12pm  (email or call before coming on Saturday)


INDIVIDUAL GARDEN PLOTS

This year we will try something new by providing individual garden plots for interested community members. Currently there are 7 plots available measuring 6x12.  Since this is something new for us there is no fee for the plot this year; just provide your own seeds, personal hand tools and time. Water sources are available. There are also Master Gardeners who you can consult with if you are new to gardening. In exchange for the plot we ask that you help with garden maintenance and upkeep.


GENERAL VOLUNTEER  NEEDS
If you are not interested in your own plot we still need your help with the following:
* Rain barrel management
* Strawberry patch maintenance
* Herb garden maintenance
* Community organizing skills to assist with community outreach
* Revitalization of the garden fence and sign. Construction skills needed for this project
*Grant research and writing

If those jobs don't suit you we can find something for you.
