We decided at our board meeting last night to alternate weeks for our work parties. We’ll decide whether the Bressingham beds or Entrance Bed 1 is where we’ll work, once we are there and see what needs to be done. Bring a hat, water and sunscreen and bring whatever you like to weed with – a hori-hori, or trowel, etc. Also bring a garden fork, a rake, and maybe a shovel and broom.
The next work parties, alternating weeks:
Thursday August 9th, 1-4 PMSaturday August 18th, 8:30-11:30 AMThursday August 23rd, 1-4 PMSaturday September 1st, 8:30-11:30 AMThursday September 6th, 1-4 PMSaturday September 15th, 8:30-11:30 AM [UPDATE – CANCELLED – SEE BELOW]- Thursday, September 20th, 1-4 PM

The Bressingham beds are near the CUH building, so the nearest parking is near the CUH buildings. Entrance Bed #1 is near the road, so the nearest parking is on 35th NE before the turn into CUH.
