Hey Neighbours,
It feels like spring is finally here! Checking in on Redfern, I notice many plants are starting to shoot up with fresh spring growth… very exciting!
This Saturday April 11th, from 10am till 12pm, we will be having another Redfern Commons work party. All are welcome and no experience is necessary.
Come join in with getting started on planting some first spring seeds in the raised vegetable beds, as well as keeping up with some ongoing weeding, tidying, and other general maintenance. This is also a great chance to come and learn about what you can plant in your own garden right now!
As always there will be all the tools you need, as well as some pastries and refreshments.
With help from a heroic volunteer who joined me on March 23, the wood chips from the city have been spread along the pathway by the fence. And earlier that month we worked on raking up excess leaves and preparing the raised beds. Now we’ll get the gardens looking their best for the season.
Work parties will continue monthly from 10am to 12 noon, on alternating Saturdays and Sundays, till November. Watch out for reminders through emails, posters, and social media.
I hope to see you there!
