One box down...

After meeting upon meeting, review of by-laws and membership agreements, researching, calling, inviting and investigating we finally got to get outside and build something together (if anyone from Lowe's is reading this, I put that one in for free. We'd like the next one sponsored or else I might type something like "You can do it, we can..") As you can see from the pictures several neighbors, adult, child and canine converged on 70th and Puget Sound to mow, partially layout the site and build one, yes one, beautiful box. We were able even to fill it with dirt, good ole dirt.

Rest assured, this is just the beginning.  If you'd like to get involved, below is a schedule of our next few events.  We're also happy to receive donations.  Currently we have enough money to build 8 boxes with enough room to build 16. 

Saturday, April 11 9:00-1:00  Boxbuilding.  Build 7 more boxes at the garden site.
Saturday, April 18 Time TBD Community Yard Sale at the garden site. Bring your stuff to sell and donate a portion to the garden.
Thursday, April 23 7:00 Planning Meeting at First Congregational Church
Saturday, May 11 Planting Day!
