IRVINGTON SCHOOL GARDEN NEEDS YOU!

Thanks to countless hours of many volunteers last Fall and this past month, the new garden boxes were built, placed and leveled, and the initial plumbing for the irrigation system was placed. Wow! But there is still more to do to have our garden ready for Spring planting! The list includes: staking the boxes with rebar to support sides, bracing pipes to boxes, installing faucets on each box, numbering boxes, filling boxes with soil and compost.

If you can help with any of these projects, or know of an organization that needs volunteer hours (Scouts, etc.) please contact Judy Cappleman (jspirit26@aol.com) or Cathy Percich (cpercich@pps.k12.or.us).

Our first GARDEN WORK PARTY will be Sunday, MARCH 16 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Come and join in the fun! We will tackle whatever jobs still need doing. Donuts and coffee will be served. Please bring your own gloves, a shovel or a hammer or wrench, and a wheelbarrow if you can. Thanks!

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS:  Don’t forget to set your clocks AHEAD one hour Saturday night.
