Hello everyone!

Our next cleanup workdate is Sunday, May 18th from 10am to 3pm.   As usual, wear heavier shoes, gloves, long sleeves & pants, and be ready for a good workout.   We've already cleared a large space in the front, and are working our way back to the fully cleared courtyards. 

Michael will also have an open house during that time period - if you haven't had the chance to see the site, please do stop by!

I also have some brainstorming for my fellow green thumbs - Since we can't dig down, we need to build up!  So, lets hear your ideas for creative wall/hanging gardens, raised beds, etc.   I have old windows to use as the lids for coldframes, so we can have veggies growing even in the cold months.  And here's another idea -  a labyrinth made out of raised planters, with herbs, veggies and flowers growing in them.  So, there's a few possibilities to get you started, can't wait to hear what you all come up with! 

We have another call for volunteers - the gate to the courtyards, needs repairing, and we've seen a lot of postings for free fencing materials.  But what we don't have? Someone with a truck or other means to get them!  If you have a vehicle and/or are willing to help out with transporting things to the Phactory, please let us know.

And thank you again to everyone for their time and contributions,
you people rock!
