Wrigley Heights Garden & Dog Park Meeting- Tomorrow

Tomorrow Saturday the 6th:

Tomorrow's meeting will be at Guadalupe's Grill @ 9:00 am. There has been a lot of conversation going back and forth about the meeting location so unless I am told otherwise I am assuming this is where they want to have it.

We are still having a work day at the garden. We will be building boxes for our orchard. We will be there from 2:00 until dusk. Bring water and gloves if you use them.

If you have ideas or suggestions for workdays or anything else please let us know.

Thanks-
Sasha

Wrigley Heights Garden & Dog Park Meeting

Hello gardeners-

Today's meeting was canceled due to the rain. It has been rescheduled for March 6th @ 9:00am. I will get back to you with the location as I think they will try to have it at the nearby church in case of inclement weather.

We will need everyone to attend this meeting. If you are one of our gardeners or a supporter of Community Gardens this meeting is a must. We had originally scheduled a work day at Wrigley Garden but will have to move the time up a bit. Our planter box building will now start at 12 instead of the original 10 am. I'm sorry for the change of plans but this meeting is very important in securing the future location of Wrigley Garden.

I will keep you posted as to the location of the meeting but please plan on attending. We need to show up in numbers in support of our project. If you have questions or concerns please call me or come by the garden on MWF to discuss our proposal.

Thank you-

Happy Growing!
