Jill McAurthur, our volunteer Master Gardener, will host a pruning workshop in the garden for all members of the Gardeing Action Team. I know it's short notice but... bring your pruning shears!
Other duties are specified in earlier posts so please check the archives for a detailed list of what needs to be done to make our Gardening Program soar... and add weeding to that list!

*repair of 2 sprinkler valves on the upper berm
*smothing primer and chalkboard paint for outdoor classroom on the backside of ACIS classroom (6'x15' or larger)
*moving several large oak rounds for seating (approximately 300 lbs. each!)
This is the wish list of goodies that are still needed:

3 more orca-board beds - approximately $200 each
12 large rocks for a sundail
several bales of hay
A shed for the garden tools
several large clay pots for container gardening
lots of mulch (can't use the stinky manure during the school year because it's a school garden and kids will be walking, digging, playing in it... stinky stuff can be spread in the summer)
MARIGOLDS!!!
lavender (to be placed at top rear of berm... it attracts bees)
lemon verbena
California bay
butterfly bush
