It happened! We got Phase 1 done! No more hauling the equipment down to the church for assembly! We're looking good! Even though the day was a bit overcast, and "spritzy" at times, we had a great crew to assemble and arrange the garden boxes for the Community Garden.
Kristi got back from Roseburg and put into action - 4' end-caps
Dave and Marilyn - great couple to work with!
Chris and Neil - father/son team - end-cap for the handicap boxes
even a fancy canopy over the sawyers and drillers!
Jeff, Dick and Bill - "The Installers"
irrigation lines in place - readying for final settings
all done! 22 4'x8'x10"s and 3 handicap boxes!
handicap boxes - 30" high - and REALLY HEAVY!!!
This weekend the ground cover (wood chips) and garden soil are to be delivered and spread. Our target date is dedication on the last Sunday in April - looking like we'll make it! I love it when a plan comes together :)
So Saturday turned into a special work day - great crew - and great fun!
Then Sunday we went to Jason's basketball tournament; a lot happening in his life these days ... he's been in a special home since October - (turned violent at home due to prescription drug anomalies) - but in his re-hab joined a Special Olympics basketball team. His team got third in their division
receiving his bronze medal - he's 5'11 3/4"!

Mike and Shannon both are doing well - but I failed to get a picture of them ... oops.
that's about it from here - have to get ready for Chapel service (1:30) and Lenten services (4 and 7) yet.

Great to see the 'plan' in the final stages with extra-good-and-plenty worker bees. What a wealth of produce/enjoyment those boxes will provide. How does one avail themselves to a box?
ReplyDeletecall the office and sign up - $30.00 per box per year - enough to cover a portion of the water and gardening soil - AND users must donate 10% of their crop to "Care to Share", a local agency we work with for our food pantry. There is also a box being tended just for Care to Share as well. Am looking forward to a great start of a new community ministry. A nice was to begin a community connection!
