Garden Build Day! Mark Your Calendars (Pending School District approval)

Garden Build Day--Phase 1
Saturday, March 12th
9:00 a.m.--3:00 p.m.-ish
(near the bike rack)

Are you handy with a power drill? 
Want to build up those biceps shoveling dirt? 
Feel like yanking up some invasive ivy?
We have a job for you!

            Come join us in the first phase of the McKinley School Garden! We will be building raised beds that will be installed and filled outside room four, near the bike rack, pending final district approval. We will also be removing ivy from several areas of the school grounds, in preparation for planting later in the year. 
         We will need help in preparing the site, hauling wheelbarrows of compost and topsoil, and construction of the raised beds. There will be an information table about Farm to School programs and the work the garden committee has done so far. There will be activities for kids, when they get tired of pushing wheelbarrows, shoveling dirt and pulling ivy. 
         If you have any of the following garden tools to loan, please let us know and bring them along:
wheelbarrows
shovels
trowels
electric drills
gardening gloves

March 12th! 
Come help Cultivate Curiosity!
